Regularly lunch at the Golden Boar with friends and absolutley love the place. Decided to write as I totally disagree with the previous review - think the food is wonderful particularly the fish and chips! Maybe "TRKs" wife was in a bad mood because he had treated her to bangers and mash on their 25th wedding anniversary - good husband, he must really love her! Enough said.

We booked a table for our 25th anniversary. The bread was very good, but the food was NOTHING like it was the last time we'd been there, which was well over a year ago. I just shove food in my mouth, but my wife's bangers and mash were not up to scratch, to say the least. The bangers were not cooked properly, the mashed potatoes had hard, uncooked bits in them, and our veggies had been cooked MUCH earlier and microwaved before they were brought to us and they were burnt. The bangers and mash and veggies had been replaced, but with very little improvement. After the "owner" came over to see what the problem was, he admitted that the veggies had been prepared earlier and microwaved, then said that was how they have always been done. He then stated that his chef was going to London for a competition. I asked if the chef was going to serve fresh veggies or if they were going to be microwaved. He said they'd be done fresh. I replied "Then why aren't they done fresh here in your pub?". Would NEVER eat there again as the "owner" had very bad manners, couldn't even look at my wife at first while she was speaking to him. Enough said.

I have been a regular at The Golden Boar Inn for the past 8 months after moving nearby. The food is exceptional and seems to be ever-improving!!! The staff are always courteous and helpful. I took my family out for a meal on Easter Sunday after raving about it to all of them for such a long time. And after reading the review by "snewton" I'm shocked by the inaccuracy and unfair comments that were made. The Golden Boar's reputation is fantastic both with locals and food lovers! The new owners have done a great job of re-inventing this place in such a short space of time.I'd recommend it to anyone who appreciates real food!
