We drove up the coast in our \"96 Ford Thunderbird (The Cluck) hoping that the odometer reading 205,000 was going to keep turning until we made it home. We were met by three of our other foodies, Mark, Maria, and Brett. The first night we went out looking for something simple and local, and we found the Parish Publick House. This was a very cool local pub. We sat and ordered from a beer menu that featured beers from all over the world, categorized by style. The food menu was what you would expect in a pub: Bangers and Mash (Taylor), Shepherd's Pie (Brett), and Grilled Ham and Cheese (Cliv). The food really hit the spot after a six hour drive. Brett's Shepherd's Pie was really tasty with delicious ground beef, an assortment of baked vegetables, and smothered mashed potatoes. We proceeded to have a few pints, listen to the local band of the day, The Splatters, and enjoy the atmosphere.","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/img.lbpost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/11\/30102229\/eat-see-do-yost-866028-t2v70dbp-503339-JDLV86vC.png","thumbnail_width":1200,"thumbnail_height":675}
