This “pleasant old thatched building – hardly a pub, mostly a restaurant”, reopened in autumn 2023 after a refurb and under new ownership – “and the standards have not dropped”. “It’s a nice place (handy for the A1) and the food is pretty good, as is the service”, so it remains “a go-to local restaurant” for many in the area.

Open again from October 2023 (shortly after our guide goes to press) – this “lovely thatched pub just off the westbound A14 trunk road” is ‘under exciting new management’ (at least that’s what the website says…). It received consistent praise as a “go-to place for many years”, with good-value cuisine and a high-quality wine list – here’s hoping that continues.

“Great pub dishes executed well above the norm and a very decent wine list” are on the menu at this “lovely old thatched inn on a village green”, re-launched in 2021 by chef Martin Russell and his partner Zoe. “How can you not highly rate any pub that has a traditional suet pudding stuffed with beef bourguignon on the menu?”

This “nice cosy village pub” with a thatched roof and beamed bar serves a “consistently good and interesting menu” of “British classics”. For many years a foodie destination, it changed hands last year and is now run by chef Martin Russell and his partner Zoe, who began her career as a waitress here.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
