The Star Inn, Harome

This place is amazing. I hope Hollywood never catch wind of it, because it looks like every film-maker's dream of what an English coutry pub should look like. Deep thatched roof, authentic Mousey Thompson furniture, open log fire in winter, perfectly kept beers, and then there's the food... Not all visitors to this site like gourmet food. Good luck to them. But I do. And this is the best food that I have ever eaten in a pub, bar none. I throroughly enjoyed my experiences here and I would recommend it to almost anyone. For me, the perfect pub, and the only 10 I am ever likely to give.

The Chequers, Burcot

After driving past the "best fish and chips in the world" sign a few times, I couldn't resist it any longer. Rash claim, I thought; I know a thing or two about fish and chips. And so I told the staff they were in for a test. Smiles all round. Lovely beer. And then to the fish and chips; all I can say is, I've never had better. Thick cod fillet cooked to perfection in divinely crispy batter. A little tower of chips - not quite what I expected, but each one crunched as I bit it. Beautiful. I haven't eaten in every fish and chipper in the world, so I can't say for sure that the claim is true. But I've eaten in a lot, I'm very fussy, and I couldn't fault it. Lovely experience. I've recommended it to a number of friends who have all agreed with me. I'll be back again.
