| Apparently one of Jamie Oliver's favourite pubs. If that's not enough reason to avoid I don't know what is. Tuna - 13 May 2017 12:57 |
| I'm Clavering born and bred. If you do decide to visit I challenge you to find someone from the Village in there. I don't think I need to say any more than that. mrmustang - 22 Apr 2011 20:50 |
| Some people here have had bad experiences it seems, but we loved the place. To celebrate my 64th birthday we booked a room for the night. Immaculate! The real ale in the afternoon was as it should be and the staff, all of them, would exceptional. The meal in the evening was terrific - sauteed lambs kidneys with bacon and black pudding - and the cheese board and red wine beyond fault. I would recommend this gastro pub to anyone.

| Over all not bad, but I was expecting better, imaginative starters, not a lot of choice in respect of main courses, very strange mix of English and Italian food, not executed properly, wine list on the other hand is extensive some very good offerings. Everything is very expensive in this pub, but most of all nice smile from staff and polite goodby and thanks, that money can not buy you here. Boring dessert menu, we have been in this pub on couple of occasions desserts menu has not changed. Positive sides are: nice decor, clean, opening hours longer then the most in the area, overall OK maybe worth a visit if you buy in all of that Jamie frenzy or you just need a place to eat late. Could do lot better and stand on its own feet if they can only hire more pleasant staff, who are willing to say thank you for coming. Belma - 27 Apr 2010 18:41 |
| Dreadful experience!. I ordered slow roasted duck which was dry, stringy and impossible to cut with the cutlery on the table (we had swapped ours with another table as it was caked with dried food). My plate was still full when the waitress cleared and she asked if it was ok. I explained why I hadn't eaten it and her reply was "No-one's ever complained before!" She came back to say that the chef had checked and it was supposed to be like that. I said "What? It's supposed to be inedible?" she turned and walked away. We have eaten at many of the best restaurants around the world and have never EVER come across such poor service. Over priced and pretentious. It didn't help to see the Chef sneeze on a plate of food either!! nonnymouse - 5 Apr 2010 19:37 |
