The New Inn, Wroxton Heath

We stumbled across this little original brick built pub on a quiet road between Stratford and Banbury. They have just changed hands (less than a week in!) and the interior is really nice, the staff very friendly and welcoming and the food (given they have only just opened) both extensive in it's choice, well presented, good value and prompt.
Starters range from the more traditional to things like monkfish - which is a really nice feature on whats essentially a pub menu. My boyfriend had steak (one of many choices of cut aqnd size) and I had the steak pie (delicious, with my only comment being that the pastry could have been a little more golden). Both were cooked well. The menu boasts regional produce - and its clear this in the case. The meat is great and attention to vegetables and potatoes is demonstrated in the quality of both.
We sat in the conservatory which overlooks vast unspoilt countryside.
Well worth a visit, we were impressed in their first week.
