Super tasty quality food, I noticed that on the menu it even tells you which farm the meat came from, or where the ice cream was made etc. The Greek Lamb and the Gammon are both brilliant. The portions are huge and I'm always left with enough food for another meal but save room for the Holly Bush sundae because you wont ever have a such a selection of tasty locally made ice cream :) The prices are great too, last time I went it was around 30quid for the 2 of us.

We were incredibly pleased with how lovely the place is. Great outdoor dining area, and incredibly cosy inside. The staff were incredibly courteous, and the food was just unbelievably good. I'll admit, when I first ordered, I did think that they were a little expensive. However, it turns out that was because I was expecting the food to be of a lower standard. What they brought out to us was worth every penny. This is a fantastic little place, a hidden gem. Worth driving over an hour to go to, seriously.

As an American, I had to be taken to the "Monkey House" and pass the initiation. Lucky for me, I…read morepassed and am invited back at any time. That was 12 years ago, and every time I visit England, I visit Graham (the owner) and all the wonderful patrons at the Monk! This little neighborhood pub reminds me of what life must have been like back in 18th-century England. Folks gather round, drinking, telling stories, sharing their food (almost everyone brings food to share). My personal favorite food: Faggots. NO, NOT THOSE KIND (silly Yanks!). Faggots are equivalent to US meatballs with bread and spices. They're FANTASTIC! The local cheeses are also "brilliant", and you will not taste anything like it in stores. Now, the most important reason to visit the Monkey House: The Cider! Yep! Graham makes the world's best cider and pours it into an "Imperial" pint glass. If you're a "dandy", order a "Shandy", which is cider and lemonade. No joke: I have driven from London, 2.5 hours to Defford to take back 2 litres of cider with me on an airplane! It's that good! Plus, I guarantee you cannot drink more than 6 pints. I did . . . once . . . and I don't remember anything after the last sip! By the way, I am 6' 3" tall (191 cm) and weigh 200 pounds (14 stones)--so I'm not a "girly man"! Now, before you go, learn the rules! After all, you are visiting Graham's private home, so be respectful. The Monkey House Rules: - No swearing - No smoking - No moving furniture around in the fireplace cottage - No checks, credit cards, or IOUs (cash only) - Mingle and tell your stories! Violation of the rules will get you barred! I cannot say enough about the Monkey House, Graham, his lovely wife, Tapper (the dog), and all the patrons! I love this place!

If you eat in the bar area you go to the bartender order your drink of choice and meal. Hint...if you only feel like a half portion of fish and chips you can order a half order and for me it's a perfect portion of food. They do have a bar menu too if you don't want fish and chips. But really who goes to a pub in England and not order fish and chips. This is the place to do so. They do have a restaurant but I believe you need a reservation for that. Worth every bit for a nice meal out and I believe that the menu is a bit different.

As time went on we decided that we would like to stay and have dinner here but indoors as it was getting cold. There were 14 of us and they managed to fit us into the restaurant area on the proviso we ordered quickly before the 6:30pm booking arrived and one table had to vacate by 8pm. The staff were great and we did not feel that we were being rushed even though some people had starters. A lot of us picked from the specials board and the food came out devine and the service was outstanding. The place was busy as it was the jazz/fringe festival weekend so the clientelle was of all ages (a bit annoying having babies/kids screaming thoughout the meal) including elderly who came in through the fire door for easy access. I would definitely recommend this place which is also dog friendly. This place is soo good that Seasick Steve was playing there that evening and eating his dinner in the pub part as we left.
