Our Village

Egham is a nice little village filled with all the necessities of life...pubs, one good French, Italian and Indian restaurant each, train/bus station, parks, several small charity shoppes, couple churches, and lastly without prejudice, a greasy chippy. It's important to have visuals of our haunts though! I was going to include the view to our 3rd floor flat and Eric's work building, but for some reason Blogger's not letting me add more images, so I'll let it go with these more important introductions.


This is our favourite location of course, The Crown. With eight hand pumps for wonderful cask beer, the bartenders know us very well! None of those silly rules about children not being allowed in a bar (except past 7pm, for which you then sit outside at the picnic tables).



Monsoon is a very very special Indian restaurant where all the servers know us by name. We've tried nearly every single item on their menu. He uses all fresh ingredients, which makes every dish excellent.



While delicious, fish and chips certainly can't be a common meal simply due to the delectable amount of grease involved. However, our local chippy certainly makes a fabulous serving with the best curry sauce ever.

I totally forgot to get a photo of the Italian restaurant, but that's no indication that I dislike the place. In fact, it's fabulous. The pizzas are southern Italy style and unique. That's not even mentioning all the fresh sea creature pasta they offer, or their torturing dessert cart. Meanwhile, here is the French restaurant. Slowish service, but a really nice atmosphere with delicious food. Eric's German stomach mostly rejects French food, but it's probably my favourite.





Of course we can't leave out the Egham version of Hogwart's, or the wonderful fenced and gated park across the street. This is especially helpful for the wild little thing we often refer to as Elle.
