"Top notch food in a homely setting"
Overview
This 19th-century, wisteria-clad free house in the heart of the picture-perfect Seer Green appeals to all-comers: locals chatting over pints of Marlow's Rebellion IPA, quiz addicts on Sunday nights, live music fans, beer festival-goers and dog-walkers. Bar snacks might include half a pint of prawns; Scotch egg or a sausage roll with piccalilli; while the modern, AA-Rosette menu could include local pigeon, sausage and smoked bacon terrine; or Wye Valley kipper fillet, potato farl, hen's egg and crème fraîche. Follow with slow-roast shoulder of lamb, white wine, root vegetables, butter beans; or grilled fillet of halibut, rösti, spinach, chorizo and lemon butter. For dessert, maybe treacle tart and clotted cream. Five real ales include two weekly guests, and beer festivals are held on Easter weekend and the Summer Bank Holiday in August.
