What can I say about the King's Arms? I'm at home here. When we moved to the UK, honestly our most…read moredesired feature was walking distance to a pub. We got stumbling distance to one of the best pubs in the country. This place is well-regarded by everyone in the region. I've met people here who give up walking distance to their local to drive here and have a good time. That says something. My first night here I made friends, and each time I've been here since I find myself in good company either with neighbors we've met before, or people who know we're new to the area and want to welcome us. I can't begin to tell you how often a quick pint before dinner turns into a long session at King's Arms. I wouldn't have it any other way. These guys truly embrace the concept of being the center of village activity. No TVs, no WiFi, these things distract from the community. You come here to interact with your friends and neighbors, enjoy a good beer, and enjoy living in the company of others. They regularly have events to bring the village out. The most impressive of which was the dinner they hosted on the night of the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. They served the exact 10-course menu served in first class that evening, and requested everyone bust out their tuxedos and dresses to mark the occasion in grand fashion. It was a remarkable evening. One disappointment, since I have to list one to feel as though I am being fair, is the wine list. We love the temperanillo, but really none of the others. But we're not here to drink wine, we're here to be social! It makes me a little sad that we don't have this type of drinking culture in the US. If you're not an alcoholic, you're not likely be on a first-name basis with the bartenders at a local watering hole. That's why I love walking in here; everyone knows everyone else, they're always happy to see you, they know what you drink, they pour a tasty pint, and are genuinely good people. I dig it.

Oh My God! What an amazing pub!…read more The White Horse is among the finest pubs in England, in my humble opinion. Landlords Richard and Caroline clearly strive to please every person who walks through this pub's doors, and to my knowledge they always succeed. The food here is superb. Both the lunch and dinner menus are packed full of delicious options that will never disappoint. As I have told many friends, The White Horse can boast that it serves the best vegetarian option in the area. We regularly come on a Sunday and order the vegetarian option and have yet to be disappointed. A great selection a real ales and good beers the White Horse's wine list is not to be overlooked. I love the Rioja here and have been known to horde the better part of a bottle for myself. The staff are always ready to serve with a smile and a genuine appreciation for their patrons, who are more friends than customers after a single visit. Do not visit England without a trip to Tilbrook to enjoy this pub. It is truly the best Great Britain has to offer!

If you eat in the bar area you go to the bartender order your drink of choice and meal.

But really who goes to a pub in England and not order fish and chips. This is the place to do so. They do have a restaurant but I believe you need a reservation for that. Worth every bit for a nice meal out and I believe that the menu is a bit different.

This inn/pub has been around for more than 200 years and I'm sure has seen a lot. Got to say, thanks for reminding me what true Fish n' Chips should look and taste like. The Atlantic Cod was outstanding and an excellent portion...no cutting corners here. Service was nice too. Keep it up...I will return, but next time, I'll have to include a few pints!

It is always difficult writing a review when you were a guest of someone else…read more A small pub, with a few covers (c. 32?). I guess my son hadn't been there before, as he had requested a table for 8 (including children), and a place away from the other diners. Mainly due to having a 4 yo and a 1 yo in the group. Unfortunately, due to the size of the place this wasn't possible. The pub came recommended apparently. The service was extremely slow given the fact that we had young children and they were getting restless. My daughter-in-law had to ask for them to take the orders in the end. The restaurant part of the pub was empty by the time we got our mains. Our table was booked for 1 pm and we arrived in good time. We left, in the end at about 3:45 pm. It was a long time with youngsters. The staff (possibly the owners) were extremely pleasant. I had as my starter: Bowl of Steamed Mussels, Shallots, White Wine & Cream £8.00 Main: Pan Fried Calf's Liver, Crispy Bacon, Mash, Greens & Horseradish Cream £13.50 Sweet: Warm Sticky Ginger Pudding, Vanilla Ice Cream & Toffee Sauce £5.50 The starter was superb, and I didn't have to ask for a finger bowl. I can't believe it was calf's liver. There was very little, and overcooked, and tough. As I say I was the guest so I said nothing. My wife had the same main, and given the price we were both disappointed. The liver was resting on a bed of mashed potatoes, and the greens were a few sprigs of broccoli stems. My son had the pork belly, and that looked great.... Wished I'd chosen that instead.... There were a number of items on the men that I also fancied, but I chose the wrong one. The sweet didn't seem to be homemade, but it was nice, although the alleged stem ginger wasn't found. The children's menu - is good value: Fish Fingers, Chips & Peas - Not you normal view of fish fingers, they were big , and definitely homemade. Spaghetti Bolognaise Roast Chicken Breast, Chips & Peas Grilled Steak, Chips & Peas - my younger son (9 yo) had this and was very pleased. It had the colour of veal. Cooked medium with no blood. Vanilla Ice Cream, Toffee Sauce Two Courses £5.50 They had a very extensive wine list, but I felt slightly overpriced. For example: 2010 Maison Favier Châteauneuf du Pape Reserve des Oliviers, Rhône, France £39.00. Would I return? Not with young children. If I lived in the village, I'd try to sample more. If I was visiting my son again..... I would suggest it wasn't worth the 12 mile drive from his house.... Shame, because on the surface it does look like they are trying to be a cut above.

Top notch restaurant ideal for special occasions and grand dining…read more The setting for the Pheasant is an old thatched roof pub. From the outside the place looks like a traditional country pub with olde world charm and sleepy village appeal. You would almost think that there should be a cricket match to be played along side it. In side the pub has been totally remodeled into a modern restaurant. The transformation has been successful with roof level raised to take in both floors of what was once a low ceilinged dining area. The service is attentive without being stuffy as you would expect from a decent city diner. There seems to be a number of Italians in the staff and this has certainly helped to improve customer relations. The food again was top notch. Good quality menu with British-European food which seems to be a la mode these days. Well sourced British food is used to create well known French dishes. Expect lancashire lamb with confit tomato, black pudding with caramelised pears, and their mixed starter of devils and angels on horseback. Delicious. All in all, The Pheasant does not disappoint. If you are looking London standard fine dining in this rural setting look no further!

I'll explain why and try to be concise. The cuisine is exceptional. There's a good selection of quality drinks. The service is excellent. The atmosphere is always friendly and welcoming -- the sort of place where complete strangers tend to strike-up conversation. The location is perfect, overlooking the Village Green, with a big beer garden behind, and a vast playing field behind that. It's a lovely village, nestled in the gently-undulating farming landscape of rural north-east Herts -- no wonder Braughing was recently awarded the prestigious "Village of the Year" accolade. The pub's menu always includes the best of local produce, from locally-reared beef to local pork sausages, alongside popular country pub dishes. (Braughing village is famous for, among other things, the delicious local sausages, and this is a good place to sample them.) Did I mention the pies? A different pie every day it seems, and you won't find better pies than these. I don't make a statement like that lightly.
