Problem
Where can you eat and park in Huntingdon?
The Old Bridge Hotel Restaurant
The creeper-clad Old Bridge Hotel is my favourite place.
The car park is free and large. Our favourite parking place is in the section where you can park facing the river. The derelict building opposite looks like a haunted house.
On our most recent visit we walked across the pedestrian bridge.
We found a new development. We were pleased to see the sign that plans are in hand for more development, so perhaps the derelict building will be refurbished or replaced.
Although the hotel car park is often nearly full, we have always found a space somewhere.
Answers
If you want a good meal, or a special meal, The Old Bridge Hotel restaurant is the place to go. Inside the hotel you have plenty of choice.
The Pub
The wooden-floored pub has traditional character combined with modern comforts.
The old-fashioned pub with a log fire and bar has charm, if that's your sort of thing. The bar stools have sensible high backs.
If you prefer, little tables for two. You can lean close. Talk intimately.
The Lounge
If you don't mind low tables, the cosy lounge with sofas is ideal for a quick coffee and cake for a business meeting.
It's also good for a girls' get together lunch. I met one group of former colleagues who gather here once a month.
We ate for the first time in the lounge, where I discovered the sandwiches. I still like the chicken and avocado sandwich.
The Restaurant
But my husband usually chooses a cooked meal. So now we go for the restaurant for more comfort and elegance.
Arrive early to get a window seat or better still book one. I think the window seats are the best. Nearer to the bar to catch somebody's eye for instant attention. Views over the garden. If you have your back to the outdoor, you still have sunshine from the outside.
If you miss out, never mind. You are likely to get more privacy at the back banquettes against the wall away from the windows. The overhead skylight, is pretty and pretty unusual.
Wine Shop
Afterwards the wine shop is always an entertainment. See the bathroom and kitchen hand gels at the doorway.
Read my post on wine souvenirs including candles, wooden candel holder and display, magnetic paper holder, kitchen ware.
