Horse & Chains, The

The town of Bushey, Hertfordshire has been featured extensively in movies and television shows due to its proximity to a couple of film studios. Yet, despite all the glamour constantly making its presence felt there, it retains an old world charm that manifests itself in the form of The Horse and Chains. This modern British pub is housed in a building that dates back to the 17th century and has been recently refurbished and taken over by Tom Aspey of Dylan's restaurant.  

The Horse and Chains focuses on skilfully prepared simple meals that are fresh and seasonal and you can see the results when you order starters of smoked trout mousse with rye bread and lemon, or maybe a main course of sea bream with crispy potatoes, ratatouille vegetables and pepper sauce. Desserts include spiced crème brûlée, while the selection of draught beers, ales and wines proves confirms they do not skimp on quality.
