The Brushmakers Arms

Any excuse to go out and eat on a wet Sunday, but this time we did have one! A friend was celebrating her 60th Birthday and this Pub is one of their favourites. For us Townies its a bit off the beaten track but well worth trying to find it! Typical unspoilt countryside pub that is well known by walkers and dog owners. The Chef/Owner Keith has been the resident chef for many years and the owner for about two.

The menu was very varied and the chalk board, changed daily, has plenty of choices. Now because we were a party of 12 I shall not be listing all choices! Just to say everyone enjoyed it, their roast is £9.95 and most other main courses were around £10 mark and puds were £4.95. Good size portions and although doing very good business we were not kept waiting long. We were all treated by the Husband of the Birthday Girl so hence a bit vague on prices and wine choices....... we did have rather a lot!! Should have talked to Keith more but he was very busy and I was drinking!!! However, he had just been over to New York to do some cooking in Gordon Ramsay's Restaurant and and we sampled one of the wonderful creations he made, a gorgeous hot chocolate and honey fondant to die for!! This is definitely a pub with good food as opposed to a pub turned into a restaurant.
