The decor at this higgledy-piggledy pub might be a touch eccentric, but the menu is anything but – with classic British pub grub exalted by classic French cooking techniques. You won't eat a nicer oxtail, beef skirt and real ale suet pudding, while the desserts are so good you won't feel bad for ordering two. You can also stay here.
