The Stanhope Arms, Brasted

Popped in for a drink on Saturday to find pub full and buzzing with pre wedding crowd from beautiful church next door. The Stanhope has changed beyond recognition since our last visit...and in every respect for the better! We swore we'd never return after a poor meal and rubbish service last time but heard lots of good things recently as it's under new management. We were not disappointed. The Stanhope has gone back to being a 'proper' country pub. Great atmosphere and an old world charm. Green King beers reasonably priced and nice wines. Considering the hectic time we arrived the staff were fantastic; polite and served quickly! Apparently the restaurant will be open in a couple of weeks and we will definitely be returning to give it a try. My new (almost) local I think!
