Bangers and Mash at the Pelican
On New Year's Day, when all the museums were closed, My Beloved and I took our guests to the Tennessee Valley to walk to the sea, a light hike of about 3 miles, on a bright and windy day. We all enjoyed the natural beauty and the chance to work off a holiday meal or two, but we were hungry again at the end so we drove over to Muir Beach to enjoy a British-style pub lunch at the Pelican Inn.The Pelican offers a wide selection of wines and especially beers as well as such pub food as Ploughman's Lunch and English beef dip sandwiches.
I chose the Bangers and Mash, two mild, huge and hearty sausages served with spicy mustard, mashed potatoes and peas, a great restorative for a hungry hiker. The peas were perfectly green and bright, the mash delectably bumpy with lumps and skins left in just the way I like them, and the bangers were savory and juicy, given zing by the sharp mustard.
The Pelican Inn is always popular and busy so be sure to make a reservation if you go.

Now this sounds like it's good enough to make it worth while to travel across the bridge. The last bangers I had in the UK were...well...let's be polite and say the radio of meat to filler was less than desirable and just leave it at that.
I love the Pelican. I used to go there every time I went to Muir beach, and when my cousin lived in Mill Valley he once let me throw his Ferrari around those gorgeous curvy roads (BEFORE having a pint, that is.)
How'd you get such a perfect ad-hoc photo? Fabulous.
I'm glad you enjoyed your meal there; I've only had me some pints there, except for a catered wedding dinner once (meh).
NamasteNancy, I can recommend it after that hike when one is good and _hungry!_ - the portions were more than generous!
Peter, wow, a Ferrari on those roads would really be a big temptation! I have enough trouble keeping my Bunwarmer under the speed limit!
Cookiecrumb, sometimes, the light is just right and this one was taken in their indoor-outdoor area where the light is very forgiving!
I could just eat a plate of this now now as I sit here trying to study and suffering from a severe attack of The Munchies!
I think I'd even be prepared to walk 5 miles to reach it too!
Mouse, it was really perfect after that long walk!
