The Frog and Toad

A terrific representative of the cherished British pub, this cheerfully decorated, low-ceilinged tavern looks like a hobbit hole. But the feed is more for giants than little people -- outstanding mussels in curry sauce, fish and chips that ooze fresh appeal, and meaty bangers and mash simultaneously fill the Anglophile and native Brit. Entertainment by way of weekly trivia contests, board games, wide-screen TV soccer matches, and just darned good people-watching add to the pub's flair. As does the multitude of frog figurines and kitschy collectibles, many donated by Frog fans, that provide the gist of the décor.
