The Fox and Hounds

Nestled in a sleepy village in the heart of the Hertfordshire countryside, this pub has a warm, welcoming atmosphere and a large pretty garden. The bar is stocked with a fine array of locally brewed real ales, and meals can be taken in the bar, the lounge and the large, homely dining room. Expect serious, inspired cooking that combines classics with modern touches. Lunch could begin with mussels, cider, leeks and cream; or sautéed squid, chorizo and butter beans, followed by roast skate wing, lentils and salsa verde; or perhaps calves' liver persillade and duck fat potato cake. For dinner, perhaps celeriac, chestnut and pancetta soup; or sliced breast of mallard with watercress salad, followed by whole roast partridge and braised lentils; or fillet of black bream, mussels and saffron. Clementine and Campari jelly is an elegant way to round matters off.
