It ended up being some of my favorite food (and beer) of the trip. The service was okay. though I did get a strange look when I asked for more napkins, as half our table didn't receive any. I also wasn't asked if I wanted another beer, which may just be a cultural difference.

It's home cooked and the portions are enormous. I sample Sunday roasts around the world and this was hands down the best ever. There is a great variety of beer including hand-pump ales. Before I forget to mention them, there are two pub dogs Oreo and Rollo whose spaniel eyes could break your heart. The background noise is conversation and darts as it should be.

I passed on dessert as i was full but i did nick a few of my colleagues crackers and a bit of cheese as he was presented with a really large cheese board with chutney, grapes and cellary andvwhat looked like a whole box of crackers. The decor in the beech house is what i would call modern traditional. Staff were helpful and the service good so i did enjoy my night here.

Lovely old pub, this. It's pretty close to one of our favourite parks for the dog, Hughenden Park…read more Of course it is dog friendly and has a lovely garden, opposite a beautiful old church. Nice setting, to be sure. They have an excellent selection of wines and craft beers and the food is really good too. I wouldn't call it "elevated" but it's very solid country pounds fare. It's worth the trip!

The welcome was friendly and the service was good but the food was a real let down. Not one of the four of us enjoyed what we ate, my beef and ale pie was a bitter sludge with a triangle of singed pastry floating on top (btw, that's not a pie) and was served with poorly cooked and soggy chips made from totally the wrong type of potato. To add insult to injury it was served in a deep bowl which couldn't have made it more difficult to eat. What is that all about? Main courses on plates, desserts in bowls, not hard to follow! While it serves a decent pint and the bar has a nice ambiance, this place has no idea at all about food, how to cook it or how to serve it. A miserable eating experience and when we mentioned to some local friends that night that we had eaten there, they grimaced and said: "oh dear!" Enough said.
