Dine with us

An indulgent, premium dining experience in a relaxed pub environment. Championing the best of Britain’s produce, our chefs have curated an outstanding array of menus which develop with the seasons.

Pub drinks

Our drinks range has at its core: our Young’s ales, along with regularly rotating favourite ales. Our wine list is in a class of its own, boasting wines from across the globe, with something for every palate.

The Perfect Sunday

Our Sunday roasts are adorned with all the trimmings like big, fluffy Yorkies (arguably the most important part), crispy roasties and lashings of our famous gravy (recipe's a secret, sorry)

Eat & Drink in Chiltern

Our seasonal, classic dishes change as much as the British weather and are inspired by our wonderful Hertfordshire countryside setting.  We focus on bringing you only the freshest, local ingredients in an all-day dining experience in our cosy restaurant and bar. Be it a traditional pub classic, a scrumptious roast or one of our colourful vegan dishes, our menu is sure to delight.

Our pub is spot-on for any dining occasion; from a hearty Full English or brunch-y dish in the morn, to a light lunch in the pub garden, succulent meat on Sunday’s, and every gorgeous mouthful in-between.

Take a peek at our menus below and be sure to book a table for the best seats in the house..
