The Dysart Arms

Built as a farmhouse in the mid-18th century, and licensed since the late 1800s, this is a quintessentially English village pub, right down to its pretty garden with views of two castles and the parish church next door. Around its central bar are several airy rooms with solid wood furnishings, bare floors, open fires and a couple of large bookcases. There is a great choice of real beers including Phoenix Struggling Monkey. Home-grown herbs are used in a please-all menu, which opens with starters such as pigeon and smoked bacon pasty with pear chutney; smoked salmon with pickled cucumber and granary bread; and chicken liver paté with pear chutney. Among the main courses are steak, kidney and ale pie; pan-fried lamb rump on celeriac rösti; and grilled trout fillets with smoked bacon, cabbage and new potato cake. Decadent desserts might include chocolate bread and butter pudding with fresh cream; and a warm waffle with honeycomb ice cream and butterscotch sauce.
