Best thing is the Viceroy Indian Restaurant which is in the back. You buy your drinks at the pub and the waiters bring some very good aromatic curry to your table. You could tell this wasn't curry made from one base sauce, each one of the 4 we ordered tasted entirely different. Good range of special dishes from their tandoor and attentive staff. I am told their Vindaloo is much prized by enthusiasts for that dish too.

It is no longer so much a traditional pub as it appears from the outside, but more emphasis on the restaurant side of it. Fine with us, it was the only cooked food source within easy walking distance our cottage in the country. What good food it was, as good and wholesome as anything served in our 'foodie' neck of the woods here in the San Francisco Bay area. With cheeses like Winterdale Shaw, (they have their own dairy herd, and chalk lined cellar to mature the cheese in), and Bloomy Rinded Somerset Brie, it was a pleasure dining there.

The pub sits directly across the street from the town's cricket pitch. Pretty darn authentic I say. I sat next to Mr. French and he ordered his usual Lamb Shank, a proper farmer's lunch. The smell of his perfectly braised lamb wafting over from his plate was angelic! I decided on having a roast beef sandwich which was totally satisfying. During our lunch, my crew introduced me to a lovely orange juice with gas water spritzer that refreshed better than a dip into a cold pool. I think I ordered three of those darn things. Thank you Mr. French!

It looks very classy and you would think it would be very expensive, but Im pleased to say we were pleasantly surprised. While it's somewhere you would more likely go as a treat, it doesn't break the bank. The standard of the traditional English cuisine was exceptional, and the decor is warm and homely. I would definitely recommend it! Please note the restaurant is not open Sundays (we found out the hard way)!

We were looking for somewhere different to eat last Friday and a friend of my daughter's suggested…read morethis pub/restaurant stating that they had exotic food on the menu too. She said she really enjoyed her meal so we thought we would give it a go. Firstly, it really is a pub - there's nothing fancy about it. The tables are just to the side of the bar. The menu, as she stated, did contain exotic food - kangaroo, kudu, bison and ostrich. We're not too adventurous so decided to try a mix of the three as a starter - 3 small pieces of each for the rather extravagant price of £15.95. Well unless it does all taste very similar, I would say that we had 3 small pieces of bison as it all tasted the same - and not very nice at that. I followed that with a lamb dish supposedly cooked in allspice and tomato, but it didn't taste like that. It was served with "creamy mash" which tasted like Smash - not at all nice. My husband opted for the mixed grill and was very surprised when half of his plate was filled with a very strong kidney - so much so that the taste permeated through everything. All in all, it was not very nice and for a pub in Higham, £60 was quite a hefty price to pay for the meal - no wine or drinks! I did ask for wine and was told the only rose was Blossom Hill Zinfandel which was like syrup. Won't be venturing back, but some people may well like it. Unfortunately it's just not for me.
