16th century pub and restaurant taken over by Dom and Antonia in September 2019; vegetables are grown in the kitchen garden and beers are brewed right next door. Chef Dom's previous experience includes The Barn at Moor Hall and the Isle of Eriska.

This “fascinating old pub in a quiet village in rural Leicestershire” is now in its fifth year under “top-notch chef Dom Clarke (ex-Moor Hall) doing his own thing in a small kitchen, which produces unusual combinations of high-quality ingredients, mostly locally grown and supplied”. The “menu is very limited” (3 starters and 3 mains), but that’s “easy to overlook when the dishes are expertly constructed and presented, and rarely disappoint”. “Add to this friendly service and a great atmosphere”.

“Old-fashioned and quirky pub” near Melton Mowbray “run by a charming couple” – chef Dom Clarke (ex-Barn at Moor Hall and Isle of Eriska) and Antonia Nelmes. “The menus are based on what is good and fresh (often local) and are very compact – just three mains and three starters”, and fans say “the cooking is always exciting and a pleasure to eat”. There was the odd reporter, though, who said “it’s hyped up to be amazing, but we were disappointed”.
