A quintessential part of life in the country is the village pub. Once just a place where the yokel locals quenched their thirst with copious pints of beer or cider and you were lucky to get a ploughmans, now just about every pub offers a varied menu and a reasonable choice of wines.

The phrase ‘gastropub’ is now in common use but is perhaps slightly demeaning and dismissive of those hostelries that serve truly great food that has been locally sourced, is fresh and cooked with style, imagination and skill. We would rather describe them as ‘fine dining pubs’ and our region is blessed with having a number of them including some that have come to the positive attention of widely read national restaurant critics.

Local country pubs

For some, a good local can be as influential for when looking to buy a country property as a good school is for others. It is not uncommon to have buyers registering with Rural View saying that they are looking for a house within a five mile radius of the Beckford for example.

We can not claim to have visited every pub on the list below, after all we are far too busy selling and letting our clients’ homes but we would be happy to discuss our personal favourites.
