Ewelme is a wonderful, sleepy village where you get the feeling that everyone knows everyone. At the heart of the community is a volunteer village shop and the local pub. The pub is run by a really friendly couple and they do make the place. Friend's of mine live in the village and when they went in there originally they were introduced to other people from the area by the Landlord and Landlady.
The pub is a nice country pub, from memory I can't recall if it has a log fire but it certainly has that feel to it. It has a nice area to sit out at the back and there is a bar area as well as a more formal seating area for dining. Also in the garden there is a small playground area which could do with a bit of love, the only thing stopping it getting 5 stars.
The food itself has been excellent both times we've eaten there. Once for a roast and once for a more traditional pub lunch. The landlady remembered our whole order including drinks without writing it down, she tells me her record is 16 - without getting it wrong!
It has a good selection of lagers, ales and ciders. I can't comment on the wine as I've never tried it.
Oh and I'd book for meals as we took the last table when we went - always the sign of a good place. read more
