* Based on a three course dinner, half a bottle of wine, coffee, cover charge, service and VAT.

This “fantastic” brick-and-timber boozer is a properly historic venue which, at 900 years old, may even be England’s oldest free house; its warren-like rooms have featured on many a TV show (not least ‘Midsomer Murders’, which is namechecked by their chicken pie), and its menu of pleasing classics (burgers, fish pies) plays an admirable supporting role.

This “atmospheric 900-year-old pub” – quite possibly the oldest free house in England – is “full of nooks and crannies” and has “bags of charm and character” (it’s a popular film and TV set, and sometimes is closed for filming). There’s a menu of “very good pub classics”, with “homemade sausages and mash” a popular option.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
