Harden's survey result
Summary
“Worth the drive out” – Chris & Amanda Lillitou’s “quintessential English country pub” has a super-cute village location in the lush Chilterns countryside surrounding Beaconsfield. The cuisine is down-to-earth, but it comes with the spin one might expect from Amanda’s Tante-Claire training: the soup might be Jerusalem artichoke; the fish ’n’ chips may incorporate Newlyn hake and battered cod’s cheek; and a typical pie would feature game with a suet crust.
Summary
This “good village pub” excels for its “lovely grub” and “friendly staff”. Landlord Chris Lillitou grew up in the village, and took over the pub with his wife, Tante-Claire-trained Amanda Baker, 15 years ago.
Summary
Former cricketer Chris Lillitou and wife Amanda's “quintessential British pub”, combining a “homely” atmosphere, “great service” and an “interesting menu with gastropub favourites as well as more innovative dishes”.
Summary
“A jolly place to eat...” – this “very traditional village pub” in the Chilterns has “some of the usual pub grub and so much more”, including a selection of “really sophisticated and delicious dishes”. Landlord Chris Lillitou, a local who played cricket for Seer Green in his youth, took the pub over with his wife Amanda 10 years ago.
