Another pleasant visit here at the Gardeners Arms.
We had booked a table, but arrived 30 mins early. No problem, however we were told the kitchen had a few orders on the go, so it would about 30 mins before they could take our order anyway. No biggie, we ordered some drinks while we perused the menus.
Not on the menu (as it was Sunday) was the two roasts of the day, beef and pork. Of which two of our group had the pork. One other went for the Venison pie and myself the Chicken & Mushroom pie.
The roasts were spoken highly of, as was the Venison pie. My pie was nice too, it was served in a dish with a piece of puff pastry placed on top. I'd have preferred a short crust filled pie, but it was still good.
The veg that came with each dish was very tasty, a lot tastier than you'd normally get with pub grub. Then some cauliflower cheese was brought to the table. It was a feast! So much food.
Too full for dessert, we asked for the bill. Four mains, six pints of cider and an OJ, came to a little over 60 GBP. Good value for money.
Special mention goes to barman Paul, who seemed to keep everything going one handed. Front of house at least.
Very recommended, especially for Sunday dinner. read more
