A warm welcome from our family lead team, a seasonal menu of European and British dishes sourced from fresh seasonal ingredients sits along side a regularly changing specials board.

A well chosen range of wines, beers and spirits, sourced from local suppliers offer something for every thirst!

The pub has a great feel with a statement dining room, dog friendly Agricultural Bar and unique and stunning garden for the sunny days. We hope everyone will enjoy their visit to us

    Went to The Boars for an early NY Eve drink with friends. Really friendly atmosphere and despite it being busy we were not rushed and enjoyed the lovely friendly atmosphere the pub has. Hats off to the Boars Team for making the pub a friendly go to place for whatever the occasion.

    Super service and food (as ever) … quieter than usual as it was lunchtime on NY eve. Staff just brilliant, had even kept something we had lost on our last visit and hadn’t realised we had lost! Great staff, reflecting the super friendly management and excellent value as well. Looking forward to more visits and meals in 2025. Thank you for 2024 (and before that)

    All 4 of us loved each of our 3 courses. The main course was just fantastic. I went thinking it was rather expensive, but recognised it was Christmas Day. Came away thinking it was good value for money. Very impressed.

    Delicious food beautifully presented by friendly staff, including a change to a pre-ordered main with no problem at all. The roast potatoes were heavenly.

    Really very lovely, great selection of choices, and staff were just right, smiling, open, attentive, there when you needed them, unobtrusive otherwise. Food cooked fresh, so a steady waiting time, but not a problem. We were in the Agricultural Bar, and the only real downside was so was the coffee machine, which you'd expect in a coffee shop, but its noisy grind, amplified by the bare floors, was rather jarring. I appreciate it has to be *somewhere* but this did not detract from our general enjoyment. Have already recommended to others.
