Summary
This “lovely old gastropub with way above average cooking” “keeps up the standard year on year” – chef-patron James Wix and his wife Bianca have run it for almost 20 years. There’s a “lovely atmosphere and friendly staff”, and James’s “first-class cooking” has plenty of European influences.

Chef-patron James Rix’s “great, better-than-pub, cuisine deserves its accolades” at this village gastropub, whose dishes range from Italian- and French-influenced staples to Josper-singed seafood; “shopping in the deli is a tasty bonus” too (and one including treats from Spanish heroes Brindisa).
For 34 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).
