Tadley’s National Dish

The Tadley Butty
1 large plate of chunky chips; 4 slices of buttered soft white bread; good handfull of sauce sachets

Liberally drizzle the chips with ketchup and brown sauce. Line them up on a buttered slice. Roll the bread top to bottom to resemble a hot dog roll (this only works if you give it a good squeeze so don’t be too liberal with the sauce). Enjoy with a pint of Best or a mug of tea (although the local youth prefer alcopops); but careful, the chips should be hot.

Wonderful—soft bread followed by a tiny crunch as I sink my teeth into the chips, then the steaming hot fluffy centre and the tang of sauce. Mmmmmh.

After a succession of dire motorway services, walking into the pub in Tadley felt like coming back to life: Oasis on the jukebox, Footy on the big screen and the lights twinkling on the Christmas tree. —We had arrived in our new home.
