The village's ancient stocks and duck pond are popular with film-makers who frequently use Aldbury as a film location, allowing the pub's customers the chance to witness every clap of the clapperboard. In the oak-beamed restaurant, the comprehensive menu includes salads and platters, as well as king prawn spaghetti with smoky bacon, sundried tomatoes and a lemon and garlic oil; chargrilled butterfly chicken breast; and butternut squash, red onion, sage and pine nut risotto. Among the desserts are salted butternut toffee terrine; and caramel fondue with fresh fruit and marshmallows. The bar snacks are a local legend, especially when accompanied by Badger Best or Tanglefoot ale.
