enticed by our first visit to wheelers pub we have planned for today to forego cooking lunch ourselves and instead have a lunch roast at wheelers…when we get there shortly after 12:00 the lounge area is empty and for a moment we are not quite sure whether they do serve lunch in the lounge and i go back to the kitchen (which we passed on our way to the lounge) and inquire: yes, they do serve lunch in the lounge.
the lounge really has (almost) the feel of a gentlemen’s club — or, rather, as one would imagine a gentlemen’s club 
(having never been in one…) almost, because the entrance area might benefit from having more proper storage space: it’s a bit of a jumble..the largest part of the room is decorated like a library with lots of leather armchairs arranged in small groups of twos and fours. at the end of the lounge is a wall-covering black bookshelf with lots of english books.
we quickly order the sunday roast, a pint of guinness (me) and a pint of cider (dorothee) — the yorkshire pudding, we are informed a little while later, won’t be ready for another half hour, so we add a soup of the day and decided to wait for the yorkshire pudding to join the roast — we are in absolutely no hurry. when it arrives, the sunday roast is very good, the roast is well done, the potatoes roasted, the vegetables quite nice. we enjoy our meal and the “scenery”
definitely worth a repeat.
