The Baraset Barn

Last weekend, it was slightly sunny, but windy.  Nonetheless, we decided to try and make the most of the peekaboo sun and took the convertible out with the top down.  We wanted to eat outside, so we went to a pub near Stratford Upon Avon that offers good food and outside dining, The Baraset.  (Now, in my opinion The Baraset sets the standard high for the definition of pub as the interior is bright, clean and lovely.  It is a converted barn property, which are quite popular in this area.)  Although towards the end of our lunch the rain clouds were rolling in, we still had a lovely time, (but less wind would have been better, but I suppose being spoiled in California for all those years with perfect weather I have to take what I can get here in the Midlands.)  If you want to know more about The Baraset check it out here http://www.lovelypubs.co.uk/venues/the-baraset-barn

The lounge area...notice the cute pillows with the Beatles on them

My husbands app, scallops....very tasty

Details like the dishes are great

My lunch, seared halibut with salmon and pepperoncino risotto

Summer squash risotto, satisfying but not overly filling
