    Nothing bad on the menu, but a particular mention for the duck fat chips which are probably the best chips I've had (and I've had a lot; they beat Heston's) and the Chocolate & Ale cake is sensational

    Had a wonderful Birthday meal; great food, wonderful service and a relaxed atmosphere. The Duck fat chips are legendary. Best of all..they left me a Birthday Card & personalised my Chocolate Cake!

    Good pub food cooked very well. Some of the best venison I’ve ever eaten. Service is fine but doesn’t make you feel special. Lunch for two came to £230.

    Hearty Michelin star cooked meal in a gastro pub atmosphere. The chef’s signature dish of pork belly and deep fried pig’s head will leave no room for dessert! For the full FT interview... Read more

    Haddock omelette starter was fabulous. Big recommend also for the house Rioja. Really good choice at £28.00.

    Chef Tom Kerridge doesn't stint on fat, salt and sugar. This is gutsy food that benefits from 24 hours nil-by-mouth beforehand (and prepare for a food hangover). Full review: http://goo.gl/tQ6YR

    There are few better places to eat in England than here. Personally, i prefer it to Le Manoir. Shin of beef is spectacular, the duck fat chips are incredible and the omelette breathtaking. Big fan!

    Can't get a reservation? You can grab a seat at the bar to eat if you're early. Fabulous fish and chips
