If it's 'finest' meat your after and want to 'taste the difference' without paying the price then…read morego to Evans and Sons. Since discovering this little gold mine of delicate delights we haven't looked back. The service is fantastic and the boys really know their stuff here to. The meat is totally fresh and really makes a difference. We tend to stock up every couple of months. But don't buy the Barnsley lamb chops o.k cos they are our favourite and we don't want them to sell out:)

The Old Thatched Inn is a lovely old building dating back to 1702, but lovingly restored after a…read moremuch more recent fire. The front of the building is the original old rooms which have been knocked through to give a more intimate atmosphere, at the back of the pub is more recent and has a large modern conservatory which is nice, but can be noisier. The pub has decent traditional ales, and the wine list is good. It has about a dozen each of whites and reds, a couple of rose wines from around £12 to £37. There are about eight champagnes from around £18 to £100. Most people don't come here to drink, they come to eat, and the menu is varied with more fish dishes available on Friday. Starters range from around £5 to £7, mains £12 to £17, deserts about £5 to £7. We had homemade fish cakes with Salad and Homemade Tartare Sauce for £6.90 which were excellent and Gravadlax with Smoked Salmon Pate, Toast & Cress Salad which was the same price and tasty, but a little too oily for my taste, it would have benefitted from a good-sized wedge of lemon. We followed this by Roast Aylesbury Duck Breast, Confit Leg with Gratin Potato, Plum & Ginger Compote for £14.95 and Roast Local Rare Breed Lamb with Crushed Jerseys Royals, Marsh Samphire & Tomato: both were excellent and very tasty. We were flagging a little now, so we shared a portion of cheese and biscuits at £6.50: it was nice, but I've had better. Overall the wine and food are excellent and the staff and service are both very good. There is a reasonable sized car park, but as the place gets very busy (so best to book a table) and parking can therefore be a challenge. Highly recommended.

Parking is the only thing wrong with this place. The food is great, the service is great and it's…read moregot a really snug feel about it. Open fires means that this really feels like and old fashioned inn. Off the beaten track a bit but worth a visit. It really caters for all types as well which is nice and perfect for a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Returned to try this pub restaurant today after a long time away. A friend told me this week the…read morelast managers had done a bunk. The pub / restaurant has only been open for 3 days and the new management were very welcoming. The beer was well kept or so my husband told me - £3.60 fior a pint of Abbot seemed slightly expensive though. The food was good, my husband had butternut squash soup and I had a parfait of chicken livers. We followed with Roast Beef accompanied by horseradish sauce. I would have liked more gravy on my dinner and a little more beef but that was my only gripe. We shared the cheese plate for desert, 1 cheddar and 2 blue cheeses one of which was stilton, would have preferred only 1 blue cheese, came with two small slices of bread and some dried apricots. We had the last two beef available so I assume this is why the portion was small -the 1 slice was thick and pink and very tasty. £1.50 for sparkling water is pretty average and the large glass of rose wine was £5.50 but nothing special. We will definitely go back to try this again. We had a wonderful walk after lunch down the lane opposite where the beautiful village pond is awash with ducks and geese. Awaiting you is a bench in the shade uinder the tree.....Highly Recommended. There is also a house opposite the pub with a stand outside which sells fresh vegetables, plants and the best preserves and chutneys you have ever tasted all at great prices. Came home with a jar of pickled onions, a jar of red onion chutney and 3 salvia plants.

The men behind the tills think it's reasonable to serve men first and leave the women waiting…read more 'First come first serve' policy doesn't apply here. Absolutely disgusted and appalled so I went over to other sweet shops in the area and found a higher quality of food and service. Niralla state this doesn't happen but it's a regular occurrence which they are fully aware of. They will be happy to discuss but what's the point if this keeps happening to a lot of women?

I've been trying out different butchers recently after deciding I didn't want to use supermarkets…read morefor everything, and this one isn't bad. They're not quite on the ball with my idea of taking my own containers to put meat in - seemed to think I needed the meat in bags inside the tuperware which wasn't what I had in mind, but once explained they seemed ok with what I wanted unlike one or two I've come across who seem to think I'm trying to commit a sin by not taking all their plastic bags. They do a basic range of meat, and can get more exotic stuff, they make their own sausages, and most of the meat is local which for me is really important. There are a few things they don't do all year round which I'd sort of expected to find there - turkey for one, which I can only have if I want a whole turkey (I just wanted a piece), but then I suppose if they've not much call for it in the summer then that's not unreasonable.
