Good Pub Guide Recommended

Smart dining pub with imaginative food, good range of drinks including six real ales and attractive grounds
This lovely country pub is smartly decorated with period fabrics and colourings, antique furniture and hunting prints. There are warm log fires in Jacobean fireplaces and the atmosphere is comfortably civilised. If you are dining in the elegant restaurant, you may be welcomed by the Salvatore, the friendly front of house man, and neatly uniformed staff serve Bass, Greene King IPA, Marstons Pedigree, Timothy Taylors Landlord and a couple of guests from brewers such as Castle Rock and Greene King, as well as Belvoir organic ginger beer, a good range of malt whiskies and cognacs and an interesting wine list; cribbage, dominoes and board games.The sizeable lawned garden (summer croquet here) backs on to National Trust parkland and readers recommend visiting the church opposite and Colston Bassett Dairy, which sells its own stilton cheese, and is just outside the village.

Good Pub Guide Food

They use seasonal carefully sourced ingredients so the menu changes frequently but might include crab and edamame cocktail, rabbit and black pudding terrine, tempura scallops with cockles and pancetta salad, ploughman's, mushroom, stilton and tomato tart, pork belly with black pudding and cider jus, fish and chips, roast monkfish with thyme cream, braised venison with parsnip mash, and well hung steaks. Bread and chutneys are home-made.

Bar food times: 12 - 2 (3 Sun) , 6 - 9.30; not Sun evening

This is an excellent pub. I have visited it several times over the last 10 years, whether for a full meal, a snack or just a beer, and always been satisfied. They manage to combine being a pub with having a really comfortable restaurant. None of their customers feel out of place. The food is delicious and interesting and the wine good value. I have just held a 4 course dinner for 27 people and it could not have gone better. The manager, Silvio, made arranging it simple. The food was great and the service on the night could not have been more obliging.
