I have decided that I've been a little lazy so far this year and not really been making much of an effort to keep up with my pub visits so I have booked a hotel for Sunday night. It's in Worksop so it's a decent drive away and should give me a fair crack at packing in a few stops on the way. I managed to get up fairly early (for me, on a Sunday) and was out of the house by nine and in the first pub of the day just after eleven leaving plenty of time to order breakfast. The pub was fairly busy and it took a while to get served. When I was eventually served I ordered the traditional breakfast and a large latte and then went and sat in a booth while waiting for it to arrive. And wait and wait and wait. It did eventually arrive and although it looked fine when I tried it everything on the plate was cold. I then sat waiting for someone to come and ask me how my meal was but that turned out to be a wait in vain. I then became a little proactive and went in search of my waiter who was very happy to replace my meal for a hot one but didn't offer to refill my coffee which had long been drunk while waiting for the breakfast to arrive. I realise he was under no obligation to do that but given the circumstances I thought it might have been a nice gesture. It was a nice looking pub with an attractive curving bar and the general feel of the place was very pleasant. Sadly, I left feeling quite dissatisfied over the meal, not a good start to the day but hopefully it would get better.

Course training completed and out in time to see the rugby, but where? The Pilgrim Oak is selected and in a short time we are driving round looking for a car park. We find one just a brisk walk away and as it turns out we are in plenty of time to see England play. The pub is popular and there are quite a few families eating, for a while anyway, as a group of very loud, drunk women gradually start to clear the area around them. The staff seem powerless to do anything, I don't know why as I'm sure an equally loud group of men wouldn't have been allowed to drive nearly as many of the customers away. Fortunately they eventually left, much to the relief of the few remaining patrons. And to cap it all England lost, much to the delight of the very happy Irishman sat at the table next to us. Still the food was nice and the beer was good so no complaints there.
On the downside, we were so disappointed and distracted by England losing that when we left we completely forgot to take any pictures. Sorry about that so here's a picture of the bill instead. Now of course I'll have to stand outside the pub for a photo on our next visit to Nottingham!
Update, 19th May 2014: As part of a roadtrip weekend to Sheffield I revisited The Pilgrim Oak and finally managed to get a "selfie" photograph with the pub in the background.
