I was really impressed with The Thatched Inn…read more We popped in here after trying out the ultimate assault course around the corner, so we were all really hungry, slightly hungover and in need of some good food. Most people seemed to be going for the carvery (and we were told if we wanted to sit outside in the sun, the carvery was the only option...) so we all went with that. Why I liked it: - I am not normally a fan of carveries...they make me think of dry meat and uninspiring, overcooked vegetables BUT the thatched inn version was actually really good. - Veggy wise: there was honey glazed parsnips, cauliflower cheese, leeks in some amazing creamy sauce, broccoli, peas, perfect roasties, looovely swede mash...it was all gorgeous. - They have large, puffy Yorkshire puddings - We had a choice of lamb, turkey or pork (with loads of crackling) a or a nut loaf for the vegetarians - All of that was £10 (!) I wasn't too keen on the fake grass outside... and the staff were not particularly friendly... but we all still had a really good meal and I'd definitely come back if I happen to be in this area again.
