England: Tasty stop

Traveller’s Rest, Buxton Road, Quarnford, Leek Road near Buxton, SK17 0SN; 011-44-1298-23695. “Fantastic, rustic restaurant is a nice stop for folks headed to the potteries near Stoke-on-Trent. Meals are delicious and presented as you might find them in a trendy place in L.A. Two pet dogs keep cozy by the fireplace, and owners and locals will stop by and chat with you throughout the meal. Inexpensive; our tab for four adults, with drinks and desserts, was $60.” Entrees start at less than $10.
