The Masonic Arms, Castle Douglas

Probably the best eating place in the area - but you must book. Good food, attentive service - and try and get a table out in the extension. Beer is the usual Scottish beer.

The Five Horseshoes, Little Berkhamsted

I brought a Canadian friend to this pub as I had had good food there in the past. Sorry to say that I found a hair in my entree - and sent it back. Much apologies from the staff, and a comment from him that he had belaboured the chef for not wearing his hat. Then skipped the rest of that course and ordered dessert - to find a hair (suspiciously like a pubic hair!) in the custard. We left without paying!

The Old Cross Tavern, Hertford

Good food, good beer, and glad they moved the bar to the end of the room!
