Offbeat Eats

After 3 long days at the Farnborough Air Show, we had to pack up to go to Leeds. But on our last evening, we decided to go into downtown Wokingham to find an interesting dinner. Wokingham is an old market town, and still has that basic layout at the town centre (Peach Place), so after parking, we found ourselves in the central market area of Wokingham looking at a handful of good options for outdoor dining. We ended up selecting an Indian restaurant, Bombay Story.

While our group was attending the Farnborough Airshow, we staying at a hotel on the outskirts of Wokingham. This was convenient for our transportation to and from the Farnborough Airshow itself (Wokingham is about halfway between Heathrow and Farnborough), but the hotel itself was on the edge of town, so aside from it’s on-site pub (which, oddly, had beer from Shipyard in the States on tap), there wasn’t much in walking distance. However, there was one notable exception to this, The Oakingham Belle. So on our second night in town, we decided to walk over and check them out and enjoy some good, old-school English pub classics.
