Hubby and I went to Spring Tavern near to 3pm, having done a full morning (and more!) of chores and hankering after filling food without having to cook ourselves. We were near Spring Tavern and decided to give it a try.
The pub has a small car park that only holds half a dozen cars, but we didn't have trouble finding on-street parking outside the church across the road.
Spring Tavern serves food all day, so we managed a proper meal even at 3pm. The restaurant area itself was completely full of diners, but there was plenty of space at the bar area (with proper tables) serving from the same menu. The only difference I think is table service vs. ordering at the counter.
I had the fish and chips and hubby had the confit pig cheeks. Both were nicely plated and came in generous portion. I was especially taken by the config pig cheeks which was most tender and flavoursome, along with perfectly cooked tenderstem broccoli and mash potato mixed with generous bits of black pudding. Suffice to say I ate more than my fair portion of my hubby's lunch...! read more
