Visited March 2008

It was recommended that I visit this restaurant by my walking friends, The Test Way is close by, but as I'm sure I went on one of their bad days perhaps I will revisit some time in the future!
 
The Three Cups Inn is a charming 14th Century restaurant/pub/hotel in a perfect countryside setting. The restaurant was busy and we were seated at the far end near the kitchen which was a pity as cooking smells were wafting towards our table. It looked a rather pokey kitchen for such a busy restaurant, perhaps more extractor fans are needed.  They were short staffed so I appreciated there was a problem keeping everyone happy!
 

 
We selected from the 2 courses for £9.50 menu.  2 starters, Pumpkin with Coconut & Chilly Soup (no pic),  Sardines with Pesto Sauce (shows a small serving but I already ate half before I remembered I had to take a photo!!) The 2 main dishes were Sirloin Steak served on a bed of hand cut chips (chips were overcooked) and I chose Salmon served on mushy peas.  I ordered as an extra dish, a salad of green beans, olives and feta cheese, a very generous serving.
 
Judging by the number of obvious regulars it must usually be a good venue and therefore worth another visit.
