I had an hour to kill in Midhurst. So I settled myself into a tearoom run by Neil and Theresa Cannings.

Tilly’s of Midhurst fronts onto Rumbolds Hill so you can’t miss it. But it is far enough away from everything else to make it a little different. They serve breakfast, light lunches and traditional afternoon teas.

I was tempted by the home cooked Gammon Platter but settled for a bowl of soup with a thick slice of bread as it was still a bit early for lunch.

 

Emsworth is a quite coastal village in the south of England

Where you can find the Coal Exchange and one of the best home cooked pub lunches on the South Coast

They offer an extensive but simple menu which includes all the popular wholesome pub meals. Generous portions of roast beef and Yorkshire pudding, a large beer battered cod fillet served with chips, baked ham egg and chips or steak and ale pie.

To be finished off with something sweet homemade and drowned in cream

One of the few outdoor markets I have been to, with a bit of character, is the Hampshire Farmers Market in Emsworth.

Held in the Village Square the stalls are interesting and imaginative.

Offering the best scotch eggs on the South Coast

Hand cut homemade pork pies

And artisan bread. Just some of the stalls to be browsed on a lazy Saturday morning.
