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!

How do you like your soup? I like mine 36 years old…read more Yes you heard that right. I like soup that's older than me. Soup that was first cooked and served 5 years before my birth. Soup that has been boiled down at the end of every day for past a third of a century and then used the next morning as the stock for the following day. Eternal soup. Served in a mug. With fresh hand made bread. That's what I like. But what soup is it? Who really knows. The A4 print-out chart says if it's brown it probably had beef added recently, if it's green then probably peas. It all depends on what was thrown in that morning to top it up. Truth be told, it never disappoints. This is the best soup in the country. I mean it. The best. And while the soup may be 36 years old, the rest of the pub feels 10 times that age. It's a fully historic pub. Like a museum back to 1764 or sometime before. Bread and ham, soup in a mug, real ales, skittle balls, candelabras and more oak than the Spanish Armada. Unashamedly old school and unprentenious, and seemingly unchanged since Cook found Australia. I half expect Dick Turpin to drop in next time I'm there, and order the soup of course.

If you're looking for a good pub, it doesn't get much better than this…read more Lovingly called simply "The Axe" by locals, this pub is in a different league to most other rural pubs. 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.
