Good Pub Guide Recommended

Big attractive dining pub with good food all day, professional service, nice range of real ales and wines; pleasant garden With its easy-on-the-eye light and airy open-plan interior and friendly attentive staff, this substantial dining pub is a relaxing place for an enjoyable meal. At its heart is a long solidly built counter with Caledonian Deuchars IPA, Phoenix B&P Original, Salopian Oracle and guests from brewers such as Titanic and Wincle, as well as a fine range of about nine wines by the glass and 70 or so whiskies. It's done out in typical Brunning & Price style with a gentle mix of dining chairs and sturdy tables on polished tiles or stripped-oak boards and several big warming oriental rugs that soften the acoustics. There are lots of nicely lit prints on cream walls between mainly dark dado and deep red ceilings. Its original bow windows and in one area a big skylight keep it light and airy, and french windows open onto a spacious balustraded deck with teak tables and chairs looking down to ducks swimming on a big pond in the sizeable garden which has plenty of trees; good disabled access and facilities; board games.

Good Pub Guide Food

Food is well prepared, and the menu ranges from good takes on traditional dishes to more imaginative ones. As well as interesting sandwiches and ploughman's, there might be pigeon and duck faggot with parsnip cake, seared scallops with minted pea purée and confit tomatoes, crab linguine, sausage and mash, thai chicken with ginger and coriander dumplings, braised lamb shoulder with celeriac dauphinoise, steak, mushroom and ale pie, and fried bass with chorizo, caper and lemon dressing.

Bar food times: 12 - 10 (9.30 Sun)

Hi,
New to the site I have just clicked on comments only to find I have just 'voted' the pub at 2.5 stars ! thought I could actually read the comments.
I wanted to know why it only had 2.5 stars maybe everybody makes the same mistake as me!
I would award it 4.5 stars!
