A pit stop at The Laird's Arms, The Lord Milner Hotel, Matjiesfontein

On our way to spend a weekend of Classical music in Prince Albert,
we stopped at the Lord Milner Hotel in Matjiesfontein ....

... for a bite of lunch in The Laird's Arms

The hotel's very authentic, historic Victorian pub
We arrived at noon and were the first customers so we had the table next to the lovely log fire
It was a chilly day in the Karoo

The long bar

Another view. The staff were so friendly and efficient 

Up a very steep staircase.....

to have a look at the function room above the bar

A beer each with lunch. Lynne liked the Matjiesfontein Lager very much, good note of orange in it.

John's huge cheeseburger with crisp string chips

Lynne's crisp and fresh battered calamari with chips and tartar sauce hit the mark, a perfect lunch "op pad"

and then, refreshed, back on the road to Prince Albert
