Day out in Leamington Spa

We are off to Leamington Spa today by train so we had breakfast then walked up to the train station which is about a 15 minute from where we are moored.  The sun wasn’t shining today and it was very overcast but no rain yet.

The Royal Pump Rooms

Food Court

Shopping Centre

The train trip is about 20 minutes.  When we got off the train, there was an entrance to the road through the station car park so we followed that which took us along a footpath and across the Pump Room Gardens, past the Royal Pump rooms and then we were in the shopping area of Leamington Spa.  We had a wander around the shops and was looking for a fruit and veg shop that we had googled and just up from it there was a butchers called Aubrey Allen.  It was a fantastic butchers and we bought many things, couldn’t resist it and it reminded us of the butchers Joseph Morris which is in the Rugby area.   We were thankful we were looking for the fruit shop as we would never have come across it and what a great find it was.  We went to the fruit shop as well and that was a good shop too.

Cote Brasserie

Egg and Bacon Salad

It was then time for lunch so we walked back to the food court we had walked through earlier and chose to eat in Cote Brasserie and a great choice it was too.  They did a two course lunch for £10.95 or three courses for £12.95.  I had bacon and egg salad followed by sea bass and dark chocolate pot, Kev had whitebait followed by chicken with couscous.  The food was excellent especially for the price and the service was good as well, would highly recommend it.

We did a bit more shopping then headed back to the train station, just as well as it had started to rain.  We managed to get back to the boat before the heavy rain started, but it was a good day out.
