Summary
This modernised village inn “never fails to please” with an attractive brasserie-style menu that’s “great for a casual lunch”. A covered garden adds to the package.
Summary
The quality of the modern brasserie fare at this village inn “never varies” (and takes in satisfying Sunday lunches) and service is always “slick” – two very good reasons why it's “always buzzing”; the magical covered garden, with its twinkling lights and patio heaters, considerably adds to the atmosphere.
Summary
With its menu of modern brasserie classics, this traditional village inn with a contemporary interior is “the go-to place for food in the area”.
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).
