The Boars - Tisch reservieren

It was almost empty when we arrived at 1230 midweek but filled up later. A choice of handpump beers which we were offered to taste, as well as the usual selection of gassy national brands. We had the three course lunch menu which we enjoyed. My salmon pate was a pleasant starter but the melba toast was offputtingly hard, putting teeth at risk. Softer toast would have been much better. My moules marinieres were quite perfectly cooked in contrast to the usual slightly overdone style elsewhere. The spiced focaccia, was tasty but over olive oiled so that it was too heavy to mop up the excellent mariniere sauce. The extra chips (my choice! were almost superfluous. A fellow diner enjoyed the confit duck Leg, pepper stew and mash. The espresso coffee was of high standard. There was one young lady waitressing for several tables which she did with aplomb. All in all, a good lunch in comfortable surroundings. Please note that off road parking is very limited so arrive early.

A bit of a mixed review. We visited Friday evening. We sat out in the beautiful beer garden and one of the waitresses came to take our drinks order. We asked only about Alcohol free options and chose a few AF beers. We're brought out 2 pints of Peroni and could tell they were alcoholic. That could have been quite a disaster for someone who can't drink! 2 correct beers then brought out. We then were waiting ages for someone to take our food order (it wasn't busy otherwise would have understood this) in the end had to go in and found most of the waiting staff stood around chatting to request our orders taken. Food was good, request to have some as takeaway was happily dealt with. Just looks like staff maybe need a little bit more training in being attentive to customers and on the ball when service is on. We will come back again another day as a nice setting on sunny days in the garden.

Our mains were delicious but our desserts were very disappointing, one very over cooked, one tasted stodgy and stale. I should have picked the creme brûlée which is always delicious. I was treating someone for a special birthday so it wasn’t nice that the waiting staff felt the need to openly discuss the price of each main which I felt was unnecessary and made my friend feel uncomfortable.

We visited The Boars on a Tuesday evening when they do most main meals for £10. We arrived and was met by the staff promptly seated and our drinks and food orders were taken. The food came and all portions were great and all the food delicious. It was a lovely evening and the staff were pleasant and polite. Will definitely return. (Infact we've booked for next Tuesday : Highly recommend

Delicious lunch I opted for Fish of the day (Sea Bass) perfectly cooked with Samphire and Capers, followed by creme brulee, I think the best Creme Brulee in England. Well worth a visit.
