The Metropolitan

Formerly a grand Railway Hotel, this large building is full of little rooms where you enjoy good food in grand surroundings.
There were three fires going on here - all open fires burning wood!
Three Good Things:
1. Sweet potato fries
2. Good talking time round the table
3. A delightful little girl aged about 18 months running in and out of every room with a huge smile on her face and waving her arms about!

This looks so cozy. I love the dark wood fixtures!

@louannwarren Dark wood seems to be prominent in old English - and German, Holland etc pubs

[Bep]

Looks like a nice place to have a drink.

[Casablanca]

Are you still in Manchester? This looks like many a tearoom I have frequented! Always love the dark wood and the tiled floors.

[Maggiemae]

@casablanca Yes, still here, CasaB! Snowed today here!

[Casablanca]

@maggiemae Snowing down here in the south east too! Love it - though rain is forecast for later, so make the most of it!

Sweet potato fries are our new best thing! Harry always said he didn't like sweet potato but he's changed his mind! A typical English pub scene!

[FBailey]

Lovely candid - this is Manchester UK?

[Helen Jane]

A cosy log fire is the best solution to today in UK. That is just what I was saying to my husband on our walk in the rain this afternoon. Unfortunately we don't have one.

It certainly looks like the best place to be with the weather so horrible at the moment!

[Dianne]

Another lovely image. You are certainly having a great holiday.

[Maggiemae]

@inthecloud5 Well this was ok to walk to Christine but today, it was snowing so our Brunch meal meant going by car!

Sounds like a wonderful time. I love sweet potato fries and seeing little ones enjoying themselves too.
