270 Coulsdon Road, Coulsdon, nr Croydon, CR5 1EB [Map]
The Tudor Rose located in Coulsdon, near Croydon, is the sort of place that gives gastropubs a good name. With its welcoming and well presented exterior as an immediate invitation, inside it is a delight of carefully chosen colours that stroke the psyche of its customers and create the relaxation and pleasure that go with good taste and hands on management.
Plenty of wood and leather creates warmth and luxury, and nothing is neglected, be it tasteful menu holders or well balanced lighting. This is a gastropub that is created for the convenience and enjoyment of its guests as a primary objective.
With a menu that is predominantly modern British, a Mediterranean influence can also be detected , and all dishes are seasonally motivated. Choices are impressive and a large range carries the conviction that is not always a part of extensive menus.
The Tuidor Rose is all about sociability and sharing plates are an indispensable aid in boosting this amiable quality; look for the antipasti of stuffed peppers, salamis, rocket, green chillies and warm warm flatbread as you consider the menu, sip a cocktail and generally unwind.
Warm Mediterranean trends exert their presence with asparagus, Serrano ham and crispy poached egg, and Goan chicken and bacon skewers with onion and coconut salad is superb. A stilton and spiced pear tart with rocket, red wine and hazelnut vinaigrette, or duck rillette with rhubarb and ginger chutney and wholemeal toast are early indications of skills at work in the kitchen.
Fancy a stonebaked pizza? No problem, choose from six options that includes smoked salmon, or a gamberetti full of the flavour of the sea. Nor are salads forgotten, there are choices and seared beef with beetroot, orange, fresh horseradish and watercress with shaved parmesan can be taken either as a starter or main course, as can many other pre-dishes.
Let's assume you bypass the linguini, one of four selections from the pasta list, before moving on to a truly generous array of main dishes where lamb rack with chorizo, peas, bacon, spinach and minted potatoes competes with roasted salmon with cauliflower and coriander fritter and pineapple salsa, beer battered haddock and River Exe mussels and clams marinière amongst others. An impressive harvest of side dishes make the most of field and garden.
A galaxy of puddings goes for the jugular with sticky toffee pudding, a spiced apple caramel crumble, or a plum and frangipane tart with lemon mascarpone; farmhouse cheeses abound and there's a Warre?s Optima 10 years old tawny port to go with it, if the spirit moves that way.
The Great British Roast makes an impressive appearance on Sundays, accompanied by log fires in season, Sunday newspapers, Bloody Marys and leather sofas. Just bliss. However the weekend starts early at The George - Thursday to be precise, when all day they offer crisp, fresh Prosecco and house champagne at unbelievably bargain prices. Not for nothing is it referred to as Sparkling Thursday.
On weekdays a great value prix fixe menu is available lunch and early evening until 7pm, Monday to Friday, with a choice of two or three courses.
The wine list has been selected to inspire and excites even the most experienced topers. Try the Chassagne Montrachet, Premier Cru Burgundy or a rather striking Bodegas VQ Merlot Rose, from Spain.
Should you not be convinced by now that we are impressed with The Tudor Rose, check on their Website for further information - but there's nothing like firsthand experience. Please note that the E-Mail Contact is for enquiries only, not for bookings.

Hurtmore Road, Hurtmore/Godalming, GU7 2RN [Map]
Showcasing modern British dishes, The Squirrel evokes classic country inn charm. Chunky wood furnishings and squashy leather chairs are dotted through the dining room, and a tranquil al fresco garden is offered during summer.
Rich flavours features throughout The Squirrel menu, with dishes like bubble and squeak topped with a poached egg and crispy pancetta, or marinated pan-fried pigeon breast with toasted pine nuts and shallots. Luxurious sharing platters at The Squirrel restaurant include fresh mussels, or a juicy cut of Chateaubriand. Follow with mains of lamb Wellington with sweet potato mash, buttered rainbow chard and juniper berry jus or battered fresh haddock fillet with skin-on chips, tartare sauce and minted green peas.
A more informal ambience is offered at The Squirrel bar, with delicious sandwich fillings including Sussex roast beef with horseradish cream, or Atlantic prawns. The Squirrel is renowned for its smooth real ales sourced from breweries across the country, as well as a variety of international wines.
Nestled just outside the town of Goldalming, The Squirrel Hurtmore offers a child-friendly garden for safe and secure playtime.

Frieth Road, Bovingdon Green, nr Marlow, SL7 2JF [Map]
In the great pub evolution there have, as always, been winners and losers. The weak have gone to the wall, the strong have survived, and the newcomers have led the renaissance. The emergence of modest groupings of revitalised pubs has brought some real stars, of which The Royal Oak is undoubtedly one, a verdict supported by the award of Dining Pub of the Year in the Good Pub Guide for 2011.
The advantages of an historic building have been skilfully combined with new ideas, modern management with heart, and an adherence to being British that borders on patriotism. Character and atmosphere is there in abundance, and you will dine in a rosy red room with glowing dark floorboards.
Only 15 minutes from the M4 and the M40, and 3 from the centre of Marlow (great shopping for the m'sahib) The Royal Oak is rural enough to have the red kites, reintroduced to the Chilterns in 1989, doing an aerial display over the pub. Once inside, the warmth of an egalitarian clientele, and friendly staff can lead to a steady and insidious relaxation.
Head Chef Ed Frost presides over a talented team which monitors on what they call a 'British Colonial' style. This involves emphasis on the products of the local fields and hedgerows, an art that over the years we have mislaid, to our own disadvantage. Starters of small plates look to seared Scottish salmon and horseradish blinis with rocket and beetroot salad cream; bubble and squeak with oak smoked bacon, free range poached egg and Hollandaise sauce, or Dorset brown crab mayonnaise on toasted ciabatta.
Many dishes are subject to season and in summer look out for grilled Cornish mackerel fillets with warm marinated feta, broad bean and new potato salad and harissa yoghurt. At any time that grand dish, the char-grilled aged English steak should not be ignored, served here with blue cheese Caesar butter and skinny chips. The eponymous pan-roast Barbary duck breast with confit potato, caramelised red onion tarte tatin and broccoli purée combines flavours that were surely grown or bred in some celestial place, though for those who like their pleasures at the table simple there is whole Cornish sole with buttered marsh samphire, sautéed new potatoes and sauce vierge.
Amongst an inspired presentation of vegetables look for open field mushroom and spinach lasagne with garden herb sabayon, pickled walnuts and truffle oil, to name but a few. Puddings present a star-studded raft of choices, starting with the baked dark chocolate soup with chocolate crackles and tiramisu ice cream, some stunning home made sorbets (mango, elderflower and strawberry for instance), or passion fruit delice with caramelised pineapple and coconut candy. I won't go on about the British cheese plate, but do leave some space . . . . . .
But I will go on about the fairly short but quite outstanding wine list which does the business in that direction with consummate skill. There is a good by-the-glass selection and addicts of pudding wine will find themselves in some sort of plummy heaven. Prices are a gift from the gods too.
Their excellent and friendly Website will introduce to further points of virtue about The Royal Oak, together with more information on such matters as changing menus.

52-54 The Street, Shalford, Guildford, GU4 8BU [Map]
The Seahorse is a 300 year old former coaching inn, now transformed into an attractive pub and dining room. It is located in Shalford, just a mile and a half south of Guildford and offers good food and drink in a great English atmosphere. In winter, customers can relax in front of roaring log fires while in the summer the landscaped garden is an ideal spot to enjoy a glass of chilled Pimms.
The design of the pub is more modern than previous incarnations, but still with plenty of nooks and crannies to nestle in and catch up on the day's events. The menu is an eclectic mix of pub classics combined with more adventurous dishes and to set the right note of fashionable sociability there are sharing plates, rustic breads with roast garlic, olives and virgin olive oil, a box baked camembert with stiratta romagna and home made tomato jam, or garlic pizzette with caramelised onion and rocket.
Amongst the starters, there is freshly made soup, sardines on bruschetta with red onion, plum tomato and gremolata or water melon with prosciutto ham and feta with chilli ice cream. Look, too, for scallops of the day.
The salads - sorry, that should read 'leaves' - offer crispy duck with mouli, hoisin, carrots, spring onions and plum sauce, for the seafood fiends some prawn, avocado, pecan, mango, watercress, bacon with orange and pomegranate vinaigrette.
These days no self-respecting gastropub can afford to be without its pizza range; expect to find a classic margherita of tomato, mozzarella, oregano and basil, piccante with pepperoni, chorizo, tomato and jalapeños or the rustica of roasted Mediterranean vegetables, goats' cheese, cherry tomatoes and rocket. Pastas include linguini with tiger prawns, crab, chorizo, chilli, tomato and white wine, or strozzapreti of fresh tomato, goats' cheese, spinach, pine nuts and raisins. For the big event there is always Indian spiced salmon fillet with wilted spinach and sweet potato with aubergine and mango chutney.
Finally, the classic burger joins the ranks of respectable restaurant food and puts in an appearance on the menu with gherkin, mustard mayo, cheese, bacon, relish and frites. The calves liver with tray baked potatoes, red onion, bacon and sage panagrattato is worth trying too. For hearty eaters there is a good rib-eye steak with smoked paprika and tomato butter, watercress and frites, or roast rump of lamb with sauce soubise, asparagus, pancetta, button onions and baby potatoes. A wide range of supporting dishes includes green salad, Belgian frites and mayo, and cabbage, leeks and peas.
Their prix fixe menu is designed for those who need a speedy bite anytime between lunch and early evening from Monday to Friday. For desserts choose between Eton mess or apple, blackcurrant crumble and vanilla custard. There is also a selection of cheeses to set the buffs alight.
The Seahorse wine list covers plenty of territory from traditional clarets to Pinot Grigio and champagne by the glass or bottle is always available. Service is cheerful, brisk and totally in keeping with the friendly nature of a good English gastropub.

42 Fore Street, Hertford, SG14 1BY [Map]
Lussmanns, with its modern style of English and European food, and its sibling in St Albans, are restaurants with a difference, in that they really do try to reflect the seasons, as well as source local ingredients. There is a kind of transparency of intent about Andrei Lussmann and Tim Hope, whose enterprise creates confidence and trust, feelings which are clearly shared by their customers and staff.
The fish is taken from sustainable stocks using environmentally friendly methods; meat is supplied by Donald Russell, probably the most famous quality butcher in Scotland and who really know how to source and hang the finest beef, and they use only English free range and farm assured chickens.
The Hertford Lussmanns is located in the town centre, within walking distance of the Castle grounds and gardens. Its Egyptian style frontage should not be taken as an indication of the cuisine, but is one of only two built in the 1830s. It was once the meeting place of the secret society of the knights' templar of Aquarius.
The main menu is available generally during opening hours and could include Hertfordshire free-range chicken liver and Armagnac parfait; Moray Firth smoked mackerel and cornichon pâté with granary toast or oatcakes, and the Lussmanns for two people with free range speck and wild rocket, roasted peppers, buffalo mozzarella, artichoke, free-range salami, roasted tomatoes, olive tapenade, basil pesto, olives and tzatziki.
However, it should not leave the hearty diner incapacitated and unready to consider the relative merits of a plate of organic Shetland Isles salmon, a house fishcake, or free range English chicken schnitzel with garlic and chilli linguine. A classic burger is served with Dorset cheddar, frites and coleslaw.
Desserts maintain the pace of excellence with a West Country organic chocolate cheesecake alongside English artisan ice creams and sorbets.
Corney and Barrow, always a good name to have around, take a hand in the wine list which is modest in number but punchy in selection and comfortably priced. There are organic fruit juices and long drinks such as elderflower bubbly and Luscombe mule, in addition to some quality British beer.
This is an admirable restaurant where quality and integrity are the virtues around which their success revolves. Learn more about them from their Website that mirrors their exuberance and pleasure in what they are doing.
Finally, their specials menu changes monthly and the latest one can be viewed on their website.
Please note that they do not accept bookings by e-mail, so only use it for questions or enquiries.

2 Newport Road, Wavendon, nr Milton Keynes, MK17 8LJ [Map]
The Wavendon Arms, a country pub nestling on the edge of Wavendon dates back to 1851 when it was the centre of village life for a thriving community and surrounded by lush farmland. Formerly known as The Leathern Bottle, the pub was once the home of a friendly society called 'The Oddfellows' and their coat of arms still serves as the pub's sign.
Attention to detail and quality of service ensures your whole dining experience will be one to remember. Tremendous thought and effort has gone into restoring the pub to its former glory, with stone fired ovens, log burning hearths, deep leather seating and spacious teak furniture. In summer, the large garden provides a good setting to enjoy the balmy evenings. Their wine list contains well-known favourites to suit different tastes.
The choices are simple but up-to-the-minute, with lots of comfort appeal, with homely things like pizza, steaks and pasta as well as contemporary, global touches to keep things lively; all delivered by friendly and cheerful staff.
To set the right note of fashionable sociability there are sharing plates, garlic pizzette, caramelised onion and rocket, a box baked camembert with stiratta romagna and home made tomato jam or Mediterranean mezze of hummus, roasted vegetables, fregola, tzatziki, feta, spinach and ricotta pâté with warm flatbreads.
Amongst the starters, there is freshly made soup, sardines on bruschetta with red onion, plum tomato and gremolata or water melon with prosciutto ham, feta and chilli ice cream. Look, too, for scallops of the day. The salads - sorry, that should read 'leaves' - offer crispy duck with mouli, hoisin, carrots, spring onions and plum sauce, for the seafood fiends some prawn, avocado, pecan, mango, watercress, bacon with orange and pomegranate vinaigrette.
These days no self-respecting gastropub can afford to be without its pizza range; expect to find a classic margherita of tomato, mozzarella, oregano and basil, or piccante with pepperoni, chorizo, tomato and jalapeños. Pastas include linguini with tiger prawns, crab, chorizo, chilli, tomato and white wine, or tagliatelle with slow cooked Bolognaise and parmesan.
For the big event, there is Indian spiced salmon fillet with wilted spinach and sweet potato with aubergine and mango chutney. The freshly battered haddock with frites, tartare sauce, minted mushy peas and chips is worth trying too. The roast rump of lamb with sauce soubise, asparagus, pancetta, button onions and baby potatoes is popular, a sign of the times and improving taste in eating. For hearty eaters there is a good rib-eye steak with smoked paprika and tomato butter, watercress and frites.
A wide range of supporting dishes includes Belgian frites and mayo, green salad and, cabbage, leeks and peas. For desserts choose between Eton mess or apple, blackcurrant crumble and vanilla custard. There is also a selection of cheeses to set the buffs alight.

Wilden Road, Colmworth, Bedford, MK44 2NJ [Map]
Starting life as the village inn, this handsome building dates back to the 17th century and still retains its original oak beams and inglenook fireplace with a bread oven, features which permeate the two dining rooms, one of which opens on to its own private enclosed sun deck with full cover marquee. There is a comfortable lounge with bar for pre or after meal drinks. There is something rather special about having the option to move outside for post prandial coffee and drinks and both dining rooms are available for exclusive private functions or conferences.
Speculation that the name Cornfields implies a rural setting would be entirely met. Located in the heart of the Bedfordshire countryside, but only a mere ten minutes from the county town of Bedford, or St Neots, with its pleasant waterside setting by the River Ouse, Cornfields is surrounded by recreational activities, with a clay target complex, golf courses, horse riding, a butterfly park and a wealth of historic sites.
Who does not love hotels that not only get everything right, but ensure that their dining room is par excellence, and so it is with Cornfields. The feeling as you enter is of embarking upon an enjoyable experience in the house of friends you really value, with the result that you already have that comfortable sensation which seems to tweak the gastric juices just a little more than usual.
A starter of stilton, walnut and bacon fritters with redcurrant and port sauce does nothing to dispel this view, and the confit of duck in a filo parcel on oriental salad with sesame oil is particularly good. Seared Scottish scallops on pea and mint puree with Parma ham provide a simple dish of integrity, and for those who have never given up on the habit there is often the most dreamy cream of mushroom soup - comfort food of a high order, and why not?
In season a roasted guinea fowl supreme on a potato rösti with wild mushroom sauce makes for an indulgent dish. Barbary duck breast with plum compote and Pinot Noir sauce creates an interesting flavour blend, and in the view of some pose a definite challenge to even the medallions of Aberdeen Angus beef, served with caramelised shallots and red wine gravy.
Desserts lend themselves to a frivolous approach, tinged with some classicism, and Cornfields rises well to the occasion with an apricot and sultana bread and butter pudding, served with apricot sauce and pouring cream, or the ever faithful crème brûlée. Their selection of cheese is not only commendable but also well presented and cared for. How refreshing to find a restaurant where the coffee is not measured out to the last grain - unlimited supplies here of an excellent Italian blend, accompanied by handmade petit fours.
The wine list displays an open-ness of mind that is commendable. Prices are sensible, with real quality wine by the bottle or glass. There is a scattering of half bottles, something we don't see enough of in these days of more controlled drinking.
Five well equipped, spacious and comfortable bedrooms are tastefully decorated, leaving nothing to chance. All rooms have king size beds, en suite baths and showers, television and radio alarm clocks, direct dial telephones, trouser press and tea and coffee making facilities. Each room is furnished in a different style and all have views out over the open countryside.
Menus vary frequently for all the right reasons, so do not hesitate to get an update by clicking on their excellent straightforward and informative Website.

9 The Riverside, Oracle Shopping Centre, Reading, RG1 2AG [Map]
Offering delicious Parisian-style bistro cooking with a modern twist in an informal and welcoming atmosphere, Côte Brasserie at The Riverside in the bustling Oracle Shopping Centre, is the ideal venue for a quick lunch or leisurely evening meal. Guests can enjoy simple freshly prepared French food at a reasonable price with seating available both inside and at riverside alfresco tables.
Open all days of the week from 8 am for breakfast, lunch and dinner, the à la carte menu offers classics such as steak frites, moules marinières, steak tartare, pan roasted duck breast and rump of lamb. Other options include starters of coarsely shredded duck and pork pâté with toasted sourdough bread, seared yellow fin tuna, king prawns in a white wine, garlic and tomato sauce with toasted garlic and parsley croutons and sliced smoked Scottish salmon with dill, shallots, baby capers and crème fraîche dressing. You could also try pissaladière, traditional warm flatbread from Nice with caramelised onions and served with anchovies, olives and parsley or Reblochon cheese and thyme.
Main course choices include a number of delicious seafood options such as fish Parmentier of cod, haddock, prawn and salmon in a creamy white wine and leek sauce, topped with mash potato and gruyère cheese, or a luxurious seafood linguine with tiger prawns, mussels, clams and squid sautéed in garlic, chilli, shallots, white wine and cherry tomatoes. Classic meat dishes include steak haché, chopped spiced rump steak, char grilled and served with frites and a cornichon and tomato relish or pan roasted duck breast with potato gratin and a griottine cherry sauce.
Lighter dishes such as tuna Niçoise and tart Provençale, a warm puff pastry with ratatouille, goat's cheese, black olives, capers and basil could be equally satisfying. The grill offers authentic poulet Breton, with corn fed chicken sourced from rural Brittany, accompanied by frites and a choice of garlic butter, Provençale or wild mushroom sauce. Steaks from Church Farm in the Peak District are 'aged on the bone' and served char grilled with frites along with a choice of Roquefort or garlic butter, peppercorn or béarnaise sauce are also popular at Côte Brasserie.
Desserts of crème caramel, warm chocolate fondant, fine layered apple tart with vanilla ice cream, iced summer berries with warm white chocolate sauce and dark chocolate mousse indulge the sweet tooth. Alternatively, you could opt for Roquefort and Reblochon cheeses served with bread and grapes.
A full English breakfast as well as choice of crêpes with eggs and bacon, eggs Benedict, croque monsieur and madame or smoked salmon and scrambled eggs sets you up for the day ahead. The restaurant also offers daily and weekend specials that change to incorporate seasonal produce while two and three-course lunch and early evening set menus are available too. An excellent wine list features crisp whites such as Lagarde Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc La Place and a soft, fruity Chablis 1er Cru Montmain as well as a range of reds from a light Château La Croix De Queynac, or Côtes Du Rhone Rouge to a complex vintage Château La Tourette. It is also filled with examples of champagne, sparkling and rose wines. More information is available on their Website.

It's not every day that you happen upon a quiet English village of which a significant part is a handsome looking inn where an elegant, exotic dining experience based on the best of Moroccan and Middle Eastern flavours is served with considerable charm and unique style.
Nor does it end at the menu, as you morph from the English countryside into a passable representation of, shall we say, Marrakesh, since this is the place for which the English from Churchill downwards always hanker to head towards.
Located conveniently between the M4 and M40 motorways, and close to London, Ayoush is ideal for an escape into another world where painted hieroglyphics, Moroccan dark wood, tiles and fabrics set the mood perfectly and the bubble of a hookah pipe completes the transition. Three areas define the restaurant, mezza bar and terrace and a wide selection of set menus and party menus for lunch and dinner make for easy choices, particularly when faced with the mouth-watering range of North African dishes, each one a temptation in its own right.
The mezza selection works in tapas mode with Moroccan and Lebanese starters all served on many plates for easy sharing followed by an Ayoush special with minced lamb and herbs samboussek, hummus, tabouleh and daoud pasha, meat balls mixed with chopped onion, parsley, garlic, coriander and cooked in tomato sauce. North African seafood dishes hail from Morocco's Atlantic coast, providing some of the best maritime ingredients in the world such as the grilled sea bass mixed with fresh fennel, olive oil and lemon juice.
This menu has Lebanese connections, such as fatoush, crispy salad and toasted pieces of bread, lettuce, radish, mint, tomatoes, spring onion in sommak herb, olive oil and lemon dressing. The couscous is traditional and invariably accompanies the five choices of that great Moroccan dish, tagine, of which the undoubted favourite is the sizzling chicken or lamb variety. A special treat is the Couscous Royal, couscous topped with tender lamb, chicken and mergueze steamed vegetables, raisins and chickpeas to make a dish that invokes the spirit of North Africa on a plate.
Strong Lebanese reds from Bekaa Valley vineyards take pride of place on the wine list, as well as rioja and pinot grigio, and French wines. The cocktails marry well with the zesty atmosphere that prevails and beers, all from an international background, including Moroccan Casablanca do well for those with long thirsts.
All this against a background of music, belly-dancers and North African exotica makes Ayoush and ideal place for a good party where time, place and inhibitions become pleasantly blurred and life takes on new meaning. Private hire celebrations, large groups and belly dancing give a special sparkle to weekend evenings at Ayoush.

104 Thames Street, Weybridge, KT13 8NG [Map]
The Minnow is one of those pubs that have surfaced on the mainstream of casual eating in the UK and are taking an increasing share of the market, evidenced by their growth in numbers and the popularity of what they have to offer.
Contemporary pubs such as these usually share a number of characteristics. An important feature is space, preferably a restaurant where you are comfortable, not over-awed, and not sharing elbow space with the next table, however sociable they may be. Good, too, to have a garden, optional al fresco eating out space, and by no means least a roomy and well stocked bar where you can actually get served without undue delay. If a pub offers all of these, and is in a good location, there is little reason in today's economic climate why it should not flourish. The Minnow provides ample evidence that this is true.
The ambience is very relaxed with its beautifully restored building and manicured gardens. The informal bar and dining areas have a décor where contemporary meets organic and melds into copper topped tables, real fires and wine prints on the walls.
The term 'gastropub' covers a multitude of blessings and it is possible to see influences of brasserie, bistro, restaurant and even café at work within the great gastro umbrella. So expect to find no one single cuisine, but a blend designed to provide something for everybody, no matter what their treat may be. To set the right note of fashionable sociability there are sharing plates, rustic breads with roast garlic, olives and virgin olive oil, or Mediterranean mezze of hummus, roasted vegetables, fregola, tzatziki, feta, spinach and ricotta pâté with flatbreads.
Amongst the starters there is always freshly made soup; the like of potted duck, smoked chicken with plum, balsamic chutney and wholemeal toast; spiced crab with avocado, prawns, ginger and pink grapefruit and, water melon, prosciutto ham, feta and chilli ice cream are also to be found. You can also find crispy duck, mouli, hoisin, carrots, spring onions and plum sauce among others in the salad or 'leaves' section of the carte.
Pastas include linguini with tiger prawns, crab, chorizo, chilli, tomato and white wine, or the tagliatelle with slow cooked Bolognaise and parmesan. For the big event there is roast rump of lamb, sauce soubise, asparagus, pancetta and button onions.
Calves liver with tray baked potatoes, red onion, bacon and sage panagrattato is popular, a sign of the times and improving taste in eating. For hearty eaters there is freshly battered haddock with frites, tartare sauce and minted mushy peas. A wide range of supporting dishes includes Belgium frites and mayo, and cabbage, leek and peas. Desserts are some of the best you'll encounter with apple, blackcurrant crumble and vanilla custard, and sticky toffee pudding with vanilla ice cream, and there is also a selection of cheeses to set the buffs alight.
The Minnow stocks a wide range of beers, both well-loved draught ales and bottled from further afield. The wine list covers plenty of territory from traditional clarets to Pinot Grigio, and champagne by the glass or bottle is always available. Service is cheerful, brisk and totally in keeping with the friendly nature of a good English gastropub.
