Best Contemporary British Restaurants in Downham

First time visiting this Restaurant/Pub for lunch with my daughter. I can honestly say the food and service was excellent. We had the Oysters and and chicken parfait for starters. The Maldon oysters were fresh from the sea and tasted so. The chicken parfait was enough for two people on its own. The star of the meal was my venison cooked to perfection on a bed of purreed cauliflower smooth and creamy. My daughter had the pie with meat filling in a lovely pastry and super smooth mash. Crème brûlée crunchy caramel topping and the crème enfused with real vanilla. The apple and pear crumble had a great crunchy crumble and you could taste both apple and pear perfectly. I highly recommend eating here and look forward to going back here.

Excellent food with excellent service. We will definitely be back!

Delicious food. Nice decor. Helpful staff. Very high standard of pub Sunday lunch. Roast beef and roast pork were excellent. Yummy homemade style desserts - apple crumble was super. Giant cheeseboard with good crackers and grapes. Not sure about the honey but that’s personal taste

The staff were very attentive and friendly. Food was lovely too. It took a while for the main meals to come out but we were both in a rush and there was a large table that had ordered just before us. There was a singer, who was really good. Not too loud so you cited still have a conversation. Was quite expensive but we did have quite a lot of wine! Would recommend.

Usual helpful friendy service, good freshly cooked food (no microwaves here!) at a fair price.
