What a lovely place! The Old Pound is a village pub with superior accommodation offering outstandingly excellent food. The clientele is eclectic and the car park is likely to have everything from Bentleys to builder's vans. Certainly it is well patronised by locals as well as visitors. The atmosphere in the cosy public bar is overwhelmingly friendly with considerable convivial interaction between the locals and the tourists. Adjoining the bar is a pleasant little enclosed beer garden. There is a newly built or refurbished accommodation unit of seven rooms. Bar prices are local pub level, and actually less expensive than most with pints of real ale at well under £4.00. It is also a CAMRA pub with well celared craft beers, offering good discounts to CAMRA members. The accommodation. Our room was well furnished with tea/coffee making facilities and an ensuite bath/shower. The bed was amongst the most comfortable my partner and I have enjoyed - and of a size which could have easily accommodated Snow White and a considerable proportion of her entourage in addition to ourselves - though I must point out that no fairytale characters were molested during our stay! The restaurant. Offering a good selection of mostly locally sourced, home cooked produce prepared to very high standards - including even the very few bought-in items such as spring rolls, etc. The portions are gargantuan, and on one memorable occasion, involving locally made faggots and gravy, defeated even my extreme appetite. Honourable mention must be made of the sausages served with the enormous breakfast. They were quite outstanding in texture and flavour, so much so that I was moved to negotiate for extras on the second morning! All in all an epicurean delight. I can't recommend the Old Pound highly enough, and we shall most definitely be returning - probably on a regular basis.
