					First visit for a lovely midweek lunch. The menu was very varied, and I could have selected most dishes. The menu changes quite frequently, so you can always expect a... read more new, pleasant delight. The pub also has a good selection of beers; however, we did not view the wine menu but it looked quite extensive. The setting is lovely and looks great for a drink outside in the sun (later in the year).

					After viewing houses in the village last Saturday it seemed only right that a visit was made to what might end up being 'The Local.'

First impressions were great; good bar... read more area with roaring fire, bar stools to sit at the bar, separate restaurant-y bits,  for which we made an impromptu decision to explore and partake.

Now, two points that I need to be clear on:

- I don't do reviews as I can never be bothered. Having just logged in to TripAdvisor, see my last one was in 2015 when I was less grumpy.
- As I approach 50, I'm getting very good at the afore-mentioned grumbling.

For example, only the day before was I having dinner at a supposedly decent independent local restaurant in Farnham, Surrey and I was bemoaning the fact that a meal was never that good and I was forever underwhelmed.  Maybe my own fault and I eat out to often and take it for granted rather than a treat, but I never REALLY enjoy a meal any more.

So it should not be taken lightly when I say that the "6oz rump steak, pulled barbecue oyster mushrooms, watercress, truffle mayonnaise, toasted ciabatta" was at the very least the best steak sandwich I have ever had, but quite probably the most enjoyable sandwich I have ever had.  Beyond delicious.

Not since I had pizza in Rome pushing 10 years ago have I celebrated a meal with this much aplomb.  Being somewhat basic (or base) with my vocabulary, I (quietly) uttered several expletives during consumption about just how much I was enjoying the sarnie.

Small caveat; I had normal mayonnaise as I don't care much for truffle anything.

Feeling chipper and buoyed by the tingling in my taste buds, I jumped in and went for dessert too.  A Biscoff cheesecake, vegan apparently, and by jove this was ridiculously tasty too.  All washed down with a couple of very decent pints of HSB!

I loved this first ever visit, and I'm pleased my visit coincided with what I understand is a new menu.  Highly recommended from me, with the experience now possibly influencing my decision on where to buy our next house!

					Lovely little pub in the middle of nowhere. Food was excellent but a little too salty for me personally. Friendly staff
