| | We visited this unspoilt 18th century country pub on a lovely autumnal day in October. Great spot for walking, either before or after lunch. The pub is full of charm with a friendly atmosphere and very welcoming staff. Above a roaring fire was the daily Specials Board which changes regularly. There is also a separate blackboard with puddings which are all home made and at £4.95 for a good size portion we can thoroughly recommend! Sorry, thinking of puddings I'm jumping forward from our main course choices! |

| Two enjoyed slices of Wiltshire Ham with 2 eggs, chips and salad, £8.50. CJ loved the Cottage Pie with fresh vegetables - apparently one of the best she'd ever had, £8.25. Lastly, I chose off the Specials Board, a lamb, pork and lentil Korma with wild rice and poppadums £7.95. All generous portions and well presented. Their Menu is full of good pub grub at reasonable prices and as I mentioned before leave room for a pudding. We shared the cheesecake of the day which was lemon with fresh cream, masses of it and very yummy. We had an excellent Rosé - La Lande Cinsault from South West France at £14.50, three coffees and out total bill was £17.50 per head including tip. We recommend! | Ladies Who Lunch Scoring:Quality of food Variety of menu Staff and service Ambience, setting and decor Value for Money
