At the end of last year, I visited "The Case is Altered" pub for my last Sunday roast lunch of the year. "The Case is Altered" is a Grade II listed building dating from the 16th century in Eastcote, London. It was recently reopened in 2017 after being renovated, and I've been wanting to visit it since then. It's only about a ten-minute drive from me, so I finally got to visit it for Sunday lunch. I actually really enjoy going to a nice country pub with a roaring fire at this time of year. There's something so cozy and English about it.
First of all, it is a beautiful building as you can see from the above photograph. The name of the pub "The Case is Altered" comes from Caze d'Altair in Spain; this is where the Middlesex Regiment won a battle, and the officers were granted land. On the land, they opened some inns, such as this one. However, the local population did not like the name, so it was evolved to "The Case is Altered".
This pub is located not far from the middle of the village of Eastcote Village and a short walk from the high street or Northwood Hills. On Sundays, they do a traditional Sunday lunch roast meal. Food is also available for lunch or dinner on other days of the week.
First up were the starters. I normally don't go for starters, but it just felt right to this time. The bloke had sausages and I had butternut soup.
For mains, the bloke had the roast sliced beef, and I had the turkey. The turkey had a lot of flavour and was not dry at all, and all of the vegetables and the Yorkshire pudding were spot on.
Last up were the desserts. We had to wait awhile for the desserts, so we got these for free. I had the chocolate pot, and it was delicious! The bloke had a selection of ice cream, which came upside down with a cone.
I will return to "The Case is Altered" as the food is really good, and I recommend paying a visit if you're ever in the area.
