The Sparrowhawk

This place looked better than it turned out. Half the items on the menu seemed to be out. Mind you we were there late on a beautiful bank holiday. I had the cheese and onion pie which was very tasty. My wife and a chicken BLT wrap that was significantly lacking in L and T.

We had lunch at Ye Olé Sparrowhawk in Fence, Lancashire, which was very good.
Granny had a small fish & chips with mushy peas. The chips were doubled fried to make them extra crisp and the fish was cooked with a nicely but lightly spiced batter. Granddad had the beef pie which was a good portion and included French Fries. My wife and I shared several starters. First was the Queen Scallops over Black Pudding special. The Pudding was excellent, but we needed a magnifying glass to find the scallops. Next we had the garlic mushrooms, which were nice and creamy, but not quite garlicy enough for us. We also had a Rocket, Olives, and Shaved Parmesan salad, which was covered in Pesto. It was good, but a bit oily for my wife’s taste because of the pesto. We then had a Salmon wrapped in Prosciutto Caesar Salad, which was excellent.
For dessert Granny had Vanilla Panna Cotta with Peaches and Honeycomb, which she quite enjoyed. My wife had the Lancashire Cheese Plate, which was tremendous. I had the trio of Strawberry which we all loved. Ganddad’s Brownie and Black Cherry Ice Cream however was rock hard on one end. After showing this to the waiter, he promptly took it off the bill.
We all enjoyed our food, even if there were a few miss hits.
