"Went with my partner for Valentine's Day evening meal. Haven't been for a while as have moved further away, but thought we would treat ourselves. The welcome from Andy and his staff is always warm and friendly and felt like coming home after some time away. I had the Celeriac Truffle Soup, Cheddar Cheese Scone, Salted Butter, to start, which for me was so creamy and tasty, the best soup I have had for some time, my partner had the Goats Cheese Mousse, Beetroot Carpaccio, Candied Walnuts, Wild Rocket, she stated this was tasty and just the right amount of serving so that you could progress and enjoy the rest of the meal. For my main, I had theTwo Bone Rack of Lamb, Dauphinoise Potatoes, Peas a la Francais, Minted Red Wine Jus, which for me was cooked to perfection, my partner had the Slow Cooked Feather Blade of Beef , Truffle Mashed Potatoes, Toasted Herb Crumb, Green Beans, Roasted Shallot, Bordelaise Sauce which looked, smelt and tasted delicious as I had some of hers too, it is Valentines Day). Finally we both had dessert, I decided on the Espresso Custard Choux Bun, Baileys Butterscotch Sauce and my partner had Passion Fruit Tart, Raspberry Sorbet, Mango Syrup. My dessert, again was delicious for me, lots of cream and sauce, which may for some, seem a little sickly, but for me, was perfect, my partner commented how lovely hers was and glad she chose that one. I have been coming to the Old Thatched Inn since just before 2008 credit crash, I remember how concerned Andy was about the future, but if just do the right thing, cook the food with care and make people feel welcome and good about themselves in that environment, well, he is still doing it today, with the same care and affection for his business and customers. Wish we could get down more to give even more support, keep going Andy, see you soon"

"after we read the reviews we booked here when we went to waddesdon manor. pub wasn't open so we let ourselves in the back door. there is no direct access from the rooms to the inner of the pubs. we were a night, room 4 needs. a head part and a chair, and a dust, although a comfortable bed. low deck in the bathroom and quirky uneven floor plates. room 5 a single, very low deck suitable only for a child. red window frame, cracked glass, dirty difficult to pull blind, nosiey rayer that kept my friend awake all night. small bathroom, loo squeezed in by shower. the room is so small that it is recommended to open a window to cook the boiler to stop the smoke alarm off, or as recommended by the owner to put the boiler on the landing!. my friend had no sleep all night and was ice cold when she had to turn off the radiator. housekeeper told us owners knew about windows / rooms for weeks, but nothing had done to fix the problem. the menu is inspired withchellin with plastered cabbage, picked walnuts, meerrettich, white beans, which are included on the menu and partly written in French. it doesn't sell because there is no description. featherstone bavette .local bred pork chop boiled pink. bark marinated what I felt as hard. unfortunatley not for us. my last job worked as restaurant manager in a 5-star hotel knightsbridge and I fought to choose from the menu. the owners were fast, both rooms and bills to remove, thank you. the breakfast was excellent, although a pot tee, instead of a cup, a menu, and some ohrengrau tee might have been nice. we found the choice of very dark green walls and deck too dark. as a very old inn, has simply not done justice."

"stay here for two nights during the visit of the family in the opposite beautiful old, jagged pub (think low ceilings, open fires and comfortable chairs). our room was in the caves in the rebuilt barn building over the parking lot and had steep stairs to him so check them with the staff if they think they could not be in the position to manage them, there are other rooms in the ground floor. our room was really nice, a double room in white and gray with a bright scree and kisses that a bright airy feeling. large bathroom shower room provided with care products, but watch her head when she uses the loo in this room, as the man his head a few times because of the low deck no damage to head or wall, but it made him jump 'until he got used to it. tea and coffee accessories with (yippee) a small refrigerator with fresh milk in it no uht pods here. also cookies are available. beautiful full English breakfast both morning with very good quality sausage and smoked speck and personal were attentive, friendly and polite and had no problem with the desire of my mannes for a smaller cooked breakfast. in the breakfast menu there is any quantity choice if not a complete English for it. four of us ate here on Monday night and although we warn, it was a limited menu (this was the week before Christmas, so not sure whether this was only for this time or if this is customary for a Monday night as they had a deal on two nets for the price of one) there was still enough choice for everyone. absolutely tasty duck for one of us, cake for the other three and charge freshly cooked vegetables. managed a scrumptious dessert and went into bed filled. we will book here again safely if we are on this way in the not too far future."
