The Milbury's is one of those unique places
that would make Americans exclaim "gee, I just love your little old
English pubs"! We Brits just thought thank God the big pub chains
haven't moved in here!! The Restaurant is a bit off the beaten track but
well worth the journey.
Six dined here at the weekend and with the
slightly South African influence on the menu it made a pleasant change.
As the menu is changed regularly there is no printed menu but the very good
& varied choice is on a large chalk board. Lots of detail on their
website.
For our first course 3 chose Portuguese Stuffed
Mussels, huge, spicy and delicious! One had Chicken Liver Peri Peri, again
spicy but in a more exotic way! Another had soup of the day which was Tomato
and Courgette, a generous portion served in a deep bowl. Lastly, I chose Grilled
Calamari with a seasoned rice mixture yummy!
For our main courses , again from a very varied
menu, I had Ostrich Steak, tasted a bit like dark meat of turkey, with
apricots and lovely little roasted potatoes. Two chose Rack of Lamb,
delicious, and two had Torbay Sole with citron butter sauce, again very good.
Lastly one had a fish called King Klip, a bit like turbot. Our only
criticism, think the vegetables could have been a bit more adventurous to go
with such a lovely menu.
The puddings of Cherries in Benedictine at £4.50
and Apple Crumble at £3.95 and one Blackcurrant Fool home-made ice cream at
£4.50 were light and very tasty. We all had coffee and our wines were
Pinot Grigio around £11 and Shiraz around £14. Commendable wine list
with reasonable prices.
The atmosphere was good and booking is essential
at the weekends. If you are interested in wells, there is the deepest
one I've seen at around 300 feet in the bar part of the Inn! Definitely
one to visit.
