| Went here for a meal on a Tuesday evening for my Mother in law's birthday. Place was about a third full. We had been before so decided to go again. Pub is divided into two parts, a smallish bar area for drinking and a larger restaurant area for diners. This is a horsey pub. Not horsey because it has brasses on the wall and pictures of disproportionately fat 18th century horses. It's horsey because Jonjo O'Neill's yard is opposite. the Nigel Twiston-Davies operation is nearby and quite a number of other stables are in the area. The drinking area is therefore full of stable lads and lasses, apprentice jockeys, etc. This does give it a bit of atmosphere. The restaurant is interesting in that on the night we visited there was no specials board. If it's on the menu you can have it. This makes one suspicious that the food is either not made on site or made earlier and just re-heated. Having said that, the lamb and duck were both very good, although my wife found the chicken and ham pie tasteless and insipid. Beer is Donnington's which, as mentioned below, is nothing special. Surely this brewery can come up with something with more va-va-voom than their BB or SBA. So in summary, not quite as good as in previous visits, but would be happy to return to try it again. ramblethenlunch - 4 Apr 2011 16:25 |
| A pleasant place with polite efficient staff.The food, though slightly expensive for a pub, was very good.My pint of Donningtons was ok but nothing special.This is a place well worth a visit.I would advise either arrive early or make a booking mangelwurzler - 14 May 2010 09:22 |
| Top rural location and beer garden. Good split between dining and drinking area. Staff have been fine on the few visits I've made here, I'm not a fan of Donnington beers but that doesn't put me off visiting this pub for the place itself. Food was excellent (game casserole) when I tried it. zeanard - 9 Sep 2009 07:55 |

| Barman was friendly, pub is a real gem that should get more attention, beer was OK(the beer's fault not the pubs in this case), and you must visit Snowshill ! mtaylor40 - 23 Jul 2008 20:36 |
