Good Pub Guide Recommended

Stone inn with contemporary décor, real ales, and excellent food cooked by the landlord

Readers speak of the particularly friendly and accommodating service at this rather handsome inn. The refurbished beamed bars are simple yet stylish with some stripped-stone walls and some painted pale grey or yellow chairs upholstered in a striking navy print dotted between leather sofas and tub chairs, wooden wall settles and all manner of tables on the wood-strip or flagstoned floors, pine chests and old barrels, fresh flowers and several open fires (one has heraldic shields above it). Marstons Pedigree and a guest like Brakspears Bitter are on handpump and they offer several wines by the glass. There are seats out on the terrace and on the lawns. The pub is named after the Burghley family, who have long owned this charming village. (Burghley house is about 15 miles away).

Good Pub Guide Food

Excellent food (you must book ahead to be sure of a table) includes sandwiches, grilled squid with red pepper chilli salsa, goats cheese crostini, roast lamb rump with pesto, mushroom and goats cheese tart, game terrine with pickled walnut salsa, grilled chicken breast with creamy mushrooms, fried gurnard fillet with tomato and chorizo stew, confit duck leg with butter bean, tomato and spinach stew and parsnip purée, and osso bucco with saffron mash.
