THE AA PUB GUIDE

"Built in 1861 as an estate rent office, this lovely old pub's reputation is founded on good food. Wide choices are available: in the bar, beef pasanda curry and beer-battered, deep-fried haddock, for example and, in the restaurant, shallow-fried calf's liver in sage and black pepper butter; trio of English lamb; grilled Cornish Dover sole; and red onion and baked savoury cheesecake. Sunday roast could be loin of Woodland pork, or prime Herefordshire beef."
