Harden's survey result
Summary
Following the departure of chef Dominic Chapman, this smart pub on a village green still ticks the boxes for “top food, service and environment at a sensible price” – now with British-Indian fusion cooking branded as ‘Milaanj’, a play on mélange meaning mixture. Top Menu Tip – “the Scotch eggs” (served with curry mayo).
Summary
The “elevated food” served at Dominic Chapman’s smart village-green venue is “certainly worthy of its top cooking grade”, and “takes Home Counties pub fare up a level – the amuse-bouches and petits-fours make a pub lunch here a real occasion”. “We hope to return when there’s cricket on the adjacent field”.
Summary
“Just superb cooking” from chef-patron Dominic Chapman, whose skills were sharpened working for Rowley Leigh and Heston Blumenthal, lifts this “hidden village pub” overlooking a cricket pitch to a level above the competition – “it’s just a shame they don’t have beds”. Top Tip – “you really should leave room for the signature freshly baked honey madeleines”.
Summary
“Fantastic food and service” makes lunch overlooking the village green at Dom Chapman’s smartly converted pub (motto ‘to feed you and make you happy’) a “lovely” experience. Yes, they serve chips – and even onion rings – but it's not really pub grub: haunch of venison… lasagne of wild rabbit… roast Cornish cod…
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).
