| I'm amazed nobody else has commented on this excellent establishment since I made my initial post over a year ago! Firedrake - 22 Nov 2011 15:29 |
| I have kept a boat at nearby Linton Lock for many years and so use this place regularly. Until fairly recently, it had a reputation for rapid and repeated change of ownership: no-one seemed to be able to "make a go of it" and I could never understand why. It's in one of the prettiest villages in the Vale of York, with gardens sweeping down to the river and always provided good beer and excellent food. The view from the garden terrace is stunning, especially at sunset. Eventually it closed down completely for over a year. Now it has been totally overhauled and re-invented as a "proper" gastropub - but don't let that put you off! It's actually very good indeed. Expensive? Yes. But the quality and service are second to none. It somehow manages to achieve this without pretension and is still just about recognizable as a pub. Its closest cousins, I think, are pobably the Orange Tree at Thornham and the Hero at Burnham Overey Staithe - both in North Norfolk. Which is appropriate enough; I'vealways felt that the Vale of York has a distinctly East Anglian "feel"! The Blacksmith's Arms in the same village is more typical of the region; more pub-like and certyainly suits a more restricted budget! Firedrake - 6 Aug 2010 14:18 |
