Harden's survey result
Summary
This “fascinating old pub in a quiet village in rural Leicestershire” is now in its fifth year under “top-notch chef Dom Clarke (ex-Moor Hall) doing his own thing in a small kitchen, which produces unusual combinations of high-quality ingredients, mostly locally grown and supplied”. The “menu is very limited” (3 starters and 3 mains), but that’s “easy to overlook when the dishes are expertly constructed and presented, and rarely disappoint”. “Add to this friendly service and a great atmosphere”.
Summary
“Old-fashioned and quirky pub” near Melton Mowbray “run by a charming couple” – chef Dom Clarke (ex-Barn at Moor Hall and Isle of Eriska) and Antonia Nelmes. “The menus are based on what is good and fresh (often local) and are very compact – just three mains and three starters”, and fans say “the cooking is always exciting and a pleasure to eat”. There was the odd reporter, though, who said “it’s hyped up to be amazing, but we were disappointed”.
