| A cosy an attractive thatched pub just outside of Buckingham, it consists of a couple of bars plus a conservatory extension on the side and a few tables and chairs outside on a patio. The main drinking bar is to the left, and this is a cosy old place with a low ceiling, massive walk in fire-place at one end (although these days in just contains a small wood burning stove), a mixture of carpet and boards on the floor, and a pale yellow colour scheme with some old black woodwork. The woodwork also extends to a couple of partitions containing some old leaded glass. Seating is a mixture of wooden benches, chairs and stools, all with red velvet cushions. There is also a small, tiled fireplace at the other end of the bar. To the right is a smaller room with vivid green paintwork, and this looks as though it perhaps be used more for dining. Beyond this is a conservatory. The menu was a decent enough selection of �pub grub� dishes, with most of the mains being around the �8 - �10 mark. My Chicken Curry was a decent enough dish with generous chunks of chicken, although personally I would have preferred a little more flavour. The landlord was a very genial and friendly chap, as were the other waiting staff. I even noticed that he changed a punter�s pint, completely unprompted and after the punter had gone and sat down, since he apparently wasn�t happy with it in some way. Beers on tap were Brain�s SA, Tring�s Side Pocket, Oxford�s Blenheim and Butcombe Bitter, the latter of which was apparently being launched that night according to a notice behind the bar, and consequently the local Camra branch were out in force to check it out. The solitary cider was Thatcher�s Dry which was an unusual and very pleasant find in these parts. All in all, well worth checking out. Blackthorn - 21 Mar 2012 22:57 |
