I'm in a 'bottomless pit' mode today - just can't eat enough!
So far I've had:
2 fried eggs, tomatoes, avocado, 2 coffees
Sea bass fillets, red cabbage & salad, 2 glasses of wine
3 slices of bacon, brown sauce, on a buttered brioche bun
1 mini Magnum
I'm still hungry!

Sadly, it's now closed but here's hoping it reverts to the the warm and welcoming inn it once was.
I once worked in and around the surrounding area, Kingsclere, Mortimer, Plastow Green etc. Great times. A friend worked at/for Aldermaston overseeing the installation of mass spectrometers, mostly abroad. It was all very secret.
Gabriella G until 4 years ago we lived in Aldermaston very close to Tadley. Local was The Hind’s Head in the village. Daughter used to work there when she was home from school. Can’t quite place The Pineapple but definitely heard of it.
Sunday:-
10am - slice of whole meal toast & apricot jam
1:30pm - slice of whole meal toast and marmite
4:30 - roast beef dinner with all the usual suspects (only the 2nd roast dinner I’ve cooked in 2018) and red wine
9:30 and ongoing my huge weakness, cheese. Stilton, Cornish cruncher and Brie and port ?
Nothing better than reading about food!! Usually start the day with porridge (made with oatmeal soaked the night before) but was up early and had Weetabix with mashed banana and skimmed milk. Delivered DGS to activity and entered a kitchen to be offered bacon roll - something I would never bother with myself so accepted - thoroughly enjoyed it. Had scrambled egg and tomato on toast at
lunchtime. Cup of coffee in afternoon. Homemade venison casserole with buttered cabbage, stewed apple and custard (with cream) washed down with a glass of St Emilion. Now enjoying another glass of vino but Monday looms so that's it!!
Porridge with blueberries and a green tea for breakfast. Strong coffee. Roast lamb, spuds, roast veg, broccoli and Bakewell tart for lunch plus three glasses of red wine (I know! but we had visitors). Green salad, two slices of toast and the remains of the salted peanuts plus a fresh apricot and orange and one piece of baclava for evening meal. Two M & S after eight mints. Two cups of tea no milk. Definitely stopping now!
1, banana, 1 apple, l slice of toast and marmite plus 2 cups of coffee this morning.
Family lunch roast beef, roast potatoes, roast parsnip, carrots. peas and yorkshire puddings. Apple crumble and custard. 1 glass of Prosecco, 2 glasses of red wine. Home now, I won't eat anything else.
My Sunday: two pieces white toast, butter & marmalade plus a small cappaccino at Costa mid-morning, can of Rio (not sugar free) early afternoon, home-made stir fry with noodles and a Diet Coke at 6pm. Cup of tea now. Trying to stick to 16.8 as I find I sleep better... Yesterday was cappaccino & toasted tea-cake mid-morning, spicey bean wrap & crisps from Tesco late afternoon, then a few Bourbon biscuits & cup of tea before my 6 o'clock deadline..
Today i had no breakfast.lunch/dinner 2 vegi sausages/boiled potatoes/mixed veg.2 cups hot chocolate/.tea /bread and jam and a bakewell cake.after grandchildren and my daughter gone home.4 small items of hershey chocolate and 4 glasses of water
Thank you, I loved reading what everyone eats in a day. I'm a Weightwatchers maintainer, struggling to stay down below goal since 2009. I do eat quite a lot and love to eat the things that are not suitable, like bread and cheese.
Most days I have microwaved porridge made with water with cinnamon and sweetner on it, apple and maybe otehr fruit for elevenses. Oh, glass of water first thing with pills and white Fair Trade tea with no milk and sweetner for breakfast, mint tea for elevenses.,
Either home-made all veg 0 points soup for lunch and a slice of whilemeal bread with low fat spread or two slices of bread and a thin slice of cheese and cucumber slices. Frozen grapes and banana slices.
Teatime is a single Mazot and coffee 1/3 hot milk. More grapes and banana slices.
Big bowl of salad before supper. Either WW meal,or quorn, or fish cakes or kippers and 100g small potatoes and helping of veg. Bowl of berries. WW choc pot or caramel pot ice cream.
Evening last thing a WW yoghurt and during the day 3 WW chocolate digestive biscuits. Sugarfree sweets and more grapes and banana slices.
Tuesdays after weigh in though I eat lots more!
Porridge & maple syrup, Roast chicken with veg, piece of chocolate birthday cake.. several cups of tea!
Two custard creams with my first coffee.
A weetabix with blueberries.
A cup of appalling coffee at junior football.
A slice of cheese on toast.
A chocolate club type biscuit and a coffee
Two pan fried sea bass fillets with capers and stir fried spinach leaves.
A glass of red wine.
Dr says ‘ pre-diabetic’ sooo - unsweetened oats , salad 4 lunch ‘ slimming world chilli and fat/ sugar free yoghurt for dinner.bloody awful!!
Two Stockan's thick oatcakes with marmalade, cup of white tea, strong black cafetière coffee, small piece of chocolate cake, flat white coffee and small fries at McD's ( with a friend at TK Maxx, and only eatery at this retail outlet is McD's! ), cod microwaved in coconut milk, then grilled with pesto and goat's cheese topping, with chilli noodles ( because they were very reduced in my very local M & S ) with some mixed green veg, another black coffee with two squares of Lindt orange chocolate, a packet of strawberries and mango.
I sympathise GabriellaG, same has happened to our local pub, such a shame.
Calorie wise today has not been a good day, had 11 of the family for lunch, roast chicken, roast parsnips and potatoes, sprouts, carrots sweetcorn, bread sauce, cranberry sauce, stuffing, followed by home-made brownies with ice cream and hot chocolate sauce. Followed by a family session of making tree decorations, kitchen now full of glue, paints, felt, pipe cleaners, pegs, lace, and goodness know what else craft equipment, haven't had the energy to clear it up yet!
So far today,
2 buttered crumpets
Roast chicken with mashed tates, carrots and boiled onions, drop of gravy.
1 black coffee with sugar
1 glass of pear cider.
There will be coffee and cakes for tea, and a coffee before I go to bed.
Mug of tea
2 croissants, 1 cheese twist, glass of apple juice
2 large Americano coffees
No lunch
Glass of merlot
Dinner, shortly, will be a slice of honeydew melon; chicken, ham & leek pie (from supermarket) with green beans and carrots followed by a mug of peppermint tea and a slice of marzipan stollen (if there's room!)
Today I’ve had Weetabix first thing, a large green salad with mussels followed by melon with elderflower syrup for dinner, and DH has promised to cook a chilli for tea. Lots of tea and coffee and I’ll be having a glass or two of red wine later.
The bag of white chocolate mice I’ve just polished off doesn’t count, as I was thinking only of the effect they might have on the grandsons’ teeth if I didn’t get rid of them.
Bowl of granola, skimmed milk
Small corned beef sandwich
Small piece of toast with some exotic pate my son in law brought back from South Africa
Beef casserole with mashed potatoes and green beans
Pain au chocolate
2 pieces of bread with cheese
Mince pie
Mini trifle
3 cups of tea
Most mornings I have a Nutribullet shake consisting of
Handful of spinach
Half an avocado
One banana
Blueberries, raspberries.
Walnuts and anything else I can cram in.
Top it up with coconut water.
It looks revolting, but tastes delicious.
That usually keeps me feeling full up until lunch time.
Half a baguette for lunch filled with ham, cheese, Branston pickle and cucumber. Cup,of tea.
I am now awaiting my evening meal which will be:
Chicken breast, roast potatoes, and an assortment of vegetables. Can’t wait!

I'll go for that, especially the pudding...yummy.
I used to be a regular at The Pineapple, a pub near Tadley, south of Reading. Long communal tables, newspapers, roaring log fires, men playing dominoes in a corner, Sunday roasts which were cooked from scratch and carved to your liking on the premises. Treacle sponge, jam roly poly and ginger puddings with huge jugs of proper 'Birds' custard.
We'd go in at noon and exit, sated and flushed from the fires, when stars were sprinkling the sky.
Alas, all good things come to an end (as my dear old dad used to say)
New owners, food on slates, atmosphere rubbish. 
It was fab while it lasted.
