Visited 15th April 2012.
Our final 'spoons of the trip was 'The Goodman's Field'. Regular readers will have noticed that so far I have not mentioned Mrs SatNav, that will now to be rectified. The nearest tube station on the Hammersmith & City line to the pub is Aldgate East which isn't to far away from the pub. Sadly we didn't know the way so we turned the route navigation over to Mrs SatNav who promptly took us in the wrong direction (we eventually realised) so the walk to the pub was a lot longer than it needed to be. But we made it, finally. The pub felt as though it was one of the smaller 'spoons we have visited but it was doing a brisk trade in breakfasts and the place was pretty full. Still full from our breakfasts and pretty much coffee'd out we opted instead for a small Pepsi each. We finished up and left, taking a much more direct route back to the tube station where we once again went in search of a member of staff to let us through the barriers. Next stop Paddington where we found we had a half hour wait for the next train to take us home. For me 'The Half Moon' was the pub of the day but Mrs S. preferred 'The Goodman's Field', yesterday's pub of the day was probably 'The Rocket' for the view over the Thames. Highlight of the weekend had to be the bit off Brazilian style beef we had at the BBQ on Saturday night - delicious.
