Good Pub Guide Recommended

Attractively opened-up and friendly pub with well kept beers, good, interesting cooking, and cosy corners With friendly, polite staff making customers feel genuinely welcomed, local beers, and imaginative food, it's not surprising that this attractively laid-out pub is doing so well. Food does play a big part here but the central bar with its warm atmosphere is kept as the main focus: they have Bowman Swift One and Wallops Wood on handpump, Stowford Press cider, and a careful short choice of wines by the glass. Well spaced mixed tables on carpet or neat bare boards spread around the airy L-shaped open-plan bar, with low leather chesterfields and an assortment of comfortably cushioned chairs down at one end; a dark panelled dado, dark beams and joists and a modicum of country oddments emphasise the freshness of the crisp white paintwork. There's a good log fire, and board games. To one side, with a separate entrance, is the village post office. There are picnic-sets outside.

Good Pub Guide Food

Depending on what's available locally and using their own, daily-baked bread, the imaginative food might include lunchtime sandwiches and ploughman's, onion soup with wild garlic pesto, pressed chicken terrine with onion jam, fried lambs kidneys with crispy bacon salad, roasted polenta with blue cheese and field mushrooms, local pork sausages with onion gravy, chicken, ham and creamy leek pie, fillet of gurnard with saffron risotto and tomato dressing, crispy duck leg with chorizo and thyme gravy, and puddings like chocolate and fudge brownie with butterscotch ice-cream and sticky toffee pudding with caramel sauce and vanilla ice-cream.
