A fantastic gastro-pub!! The bar is decorated in a homely fashion with up-turned wine cases making a shelf filled with books and games for the customers. There is an interesting collection of photos and cuttings hanging on the walls. Outside is a cute garden with more interesting pieces scattered around. It has the feel of a smoking garden waiting for the ban.
The food is well executed simple fare. Potted shrimps, rillettes. A lovely dish of duck breast with roast peach and watercress, potato and shallot salad. A mediteranean vegetable 'stack' was packed with flavour. Sticky toffee pudding is to die for and must be had by anyone who visits.
Alround a lovely place to go, look out for Mr Bojangles (the resident dog) and if you want bring your dog for a dried pigs ear available at the bar.
I almost headed to the Brown Dog for lunch on the weekend. Will definitely make it there soon - I love a good STP!
