The Griffin's Head - Menu

Lovely three course Sunday lunch menu to celebrate a 50th birthday. Great food and fabulous service in a nice country pub.

Sat in front of an open fire. We ordered pie of the day which was a good quality steak pie, some decent veg and attentive staff. Lovely relaxing atmosphere.

Excellent food and drink. Staff friendly. Beautiful pub. Only downside is you will find yourself amongst a lot of very entitled customers. Corporate managers. That sort of thing, particularly at the bar. But then money speaks I guess.

We happened upon the pub last week and they mentioned they were expecting some Vintage cars on the Sunday so we booked in for a roast. The meal was great huge portions with lots of veg and delicious dessert. We both had the chocolate fondant which was brilliant; the brittle was divine!

What a lovely old pub. Went there for the first time today. Not that easy to get to but well worth the effort. During the week they are offering a brilliant 2 main meals for £22. The food is absolutely amazing and wonderfully presented and the staff are excellent too. A 'real ' restaurant with amazing deals on offer. Will certainly be a regular haunt.

Not vegetarian friendly at all.!!! The two options without meat or fish were vegan. And no vegetarians would like something vegetarian with real cheese! Thought I’d try the ploughman’s but no idea if the cheese is vegetarian as it’s listing was odd. Even then it was the only sandwich available to non meat eaters. Quite disgusted actually. This is 2024! We didn’t bother staying.

Having pre ordered as requested for 8 people we expected to find a table ready for us. There was none. The room `s acoustics tiled floor, no curtians, bare walls, low ceiling were appalling. The food was modern European but cooked in an amateur uncaring way by a chef who just cannot have ever been properly trained and had no understanding of good food. Overcooked fish. Muddled flavour combinations. Overcooked uninspiring vegetables. Tinned asparagus in asparagus season. Daunting chunks of duck, far too big and crude. Of 16 meals ordered only 2 bowls of clam chunder were in any way enjoyable. An unforgettably bad experience.

Following a rural dog walk along The Serpentine we stopped here for a delightful lunch. There were 6 of us, having a variety from the menu from French Onion Soup to Pork Belly, Chicken Burger and Mushroom Bourguignon and Steak. The consensus was it was all very delicious! My Mushroom Bourguignon was fantastic just what I wanted to warm up after being out in the blustery weather. The woman serving our table was very conscientious and friendly, and even gave the dogs some treats to keep them occupied too! (She was telling us about her own dog Winston who sounded adorable so I think she was certainly a dog person! All in all a great experience and we’ll be returning again soon.

Ive been to this pub many times over the years and have enjoyed the setting and the gardens so booked for Sunday lunch. The staff were pleasant and helpful even though the venue was fully booked however the food was mixed at best. The Bruschetta with asparagus, broad beans and feta looked fresh and inviting but the bread was neither grilled with olive oil or toasted and there was no dressing to add flavour. The calamari dressing was ok but the the calamari was barely coated and tough. The pork belly was delicious, and the crackling was superb however the roast potatoes had a think hard layer and tasted of old oil, the veg was ok but the broccoli was very much over done. The fish of the day w...
