Attractive, thatched, quiet village, space to sit outside, well-decorated with modern 'murky' shades of paint, but not 'gastro-pub'-ed to within an inch of its life, great local beers, a warm welcome, a woodburning stove, dogs welcome, tasty homemade food at affordable prices.
We had a simple lunch: soup for me (roasted garlic + celeriac with croutons), sardines on toast with roasted vine tomatoes and a ploughman's - all done fantastically well.
Their unpretentious formula for success is proving a hit - getting a table for Thurs - Sat night can be tricky - phone well ahead. Thoroughly recommended.

What a lovely lunch! The pub is very cute too
thanks, Sally! I'm enjoying your blog too - not getting time to comment as much as usual on people's blogs (or eat out - more's the pity) - busy busy busy!
That looks lovely,just putting together menus so very interested in what other pubs are doing.
Can you give us an idea on pricing?
This is their dinner menu:

Now, NS, no taking umbrage at the'pan-seared, crushed etc etc' cliches - to my mind, it'd be a better menu without those words,however the food spoke for itself and was homemade, locally sourced and delicious. So they were almost forgiven...
I think at lunchtime it was about £4.95 for soup and £7.50 for the sardines or ploughmans. That seemed about right for the quality and quantity from our perspective.
