Beer well looked after, food well presented and tasty, and excellent friendly service. Only minor quibble would be the menu is not very inventive - but then it does not claim gastro-pub status. And if you have small people to entertain, there's (a) a children's play area in the rear of the beer garden and (b) the Fancott Miniature Railway, described as the "last pub railway in Britain".

We were told the pub is 500 years old, which is kind of amazing. We only had a limited selection of entrees since we were on a tight schedule. The fish & chips and the burger were the popular choices. I ended up ordering the burger, which was really good, but I must say the fish really looked yummy too. The burger was perfectly cooked, with cheese and bacon with fries on the side. Of course we also had to have a nice cold beer with our food, so we got a big one :-) This is definitely a place I would like to come back to and try something else from their menu, and I'm guessing it's a really nice place in the summer as well, as they have a lot of outdoor seating as well.

Returned to try this pub restaurant today after a long time away. A friend told me this week the…read morelast managers had done a bunk. The pub / restaurant has only been open for 3 days and the new management were very welcoming. The beer was well kept or so my husband told me - £3.60 fior a pint of Abbot seemed slightly expensive though. The food was good, my husband had butternut squash soup and I had a parfait of chicken livers. We followed with Roast Beef accompanied by horseradish sauce. I would have liked more gravy on my dinner and a little more beef but that was my only gripe. We shared the cheese plate for desert, 1 cheddar and 2 blue cheeses one of which was stilton, would have preferred only 1 blue cheese, came with two small slices of bread and some dried apricots. We had the last two beef available so I assume this is why the portion was small -the 1 slice was thick and pink and very tasty. £1.50 for sparkling water is pretty average and the large glass of rose wine was £5.50 but nothing special. We will definitely go back to try this again. We had a wonderful walk after lunch down the lane opposite where the beautiful village pond is awash with ducks and geese. Awaiting you is a bench in the shade uinder the tree.....Highly Recommended. There is also a house opposite the pub with a stand outside which sells fresh vegetables, plants and the best preserves and chutneys you have ever tasted all at great prices. Came home with a jar of pickled onions, a jar of red onion chutney and 3 salvia plants.

The staff were lovely, the restaurant/pub itself was gorgeous, original beams, low ceilings (watch the noggin!), chalk board specials menu's, bursting with charm and character - and very busy! This place serves fish finger sandwiches on their light lunch menu - how can you not love it?!?! I got the pork, which was too fatty and boney, with not a lot of meat - though the meat I had was delicious. The 'Glaze' was more of a sauce than a glaze, but again it was delicious! Hubby also greatly enjoyed his steak and ale pie!

Staff are very friendly and even worth tipping! However I do recommend avoiding it during busy hours, as there can be a few kids running round yelling, but that's not something that can be helped.

This pub will get good reviews on here, but it's distinctly formulaic (like EVERY Hungry Horse in…read morethe UK) and so distinctly average. Nothing wrong with that, and the staff do make an impact on the atmosphere, but last time I was in there, the kids were running riot and there was not much peace in the back section. Maybe it's changed very recently, but I'd rather have some peace with my Sunday Lunch, as well as the peas! It's easy to find, being right off of the Houghton Regis roundabout - enough car parking space and always people both in the sports bar and the family bar. A good night out is guaranteed if you go with the right attitude and a smile!
