    The deal is quite good , but the price of the drinks are outrageous, £9.35 for a glass of red wine come on.

    We had a really great meal here today. The welcome was brilliant and all interactions with staff were excellent throughout our visit. It was good to see the full menu was available as well as the roasts but we all opted for roasts. The food arrived in good time, it looked very appealing, was hot and delicious. We went on to have desserts which were also excellent. All staff were friendly, attentive and professional. We felt everything was good value and had a really great meal in a lovely setting.

    Lovely little find. We had Focaccia with olive oil (normally comes with balsamic vinegar too but they had ran out) for our starter. Lovely fresh focaccia and plenty for the two of us. Sunday Lunch -the roast beef with a side of red cabbage. We chose to have our beef pink and it came perfect. Roast potatoes were lovely and crispy with a giant Yorkshire pudding. Portions were brilliant and you came away more than full. Staff were lovely and helpful without being too much. Parking was scarce but we found a space up the road. All in all a wonderful experience

    Lovely meal, good service but the heating needs to be turned up as rather cold in the restuarant

    Our 3rd visit to the Boars, excellent as always. The service is great, nothing too much trouble allowed to dine at your own pace. Food was fantastic, we’ll definitely come back and would recommend

    I booked a table for two and received a warm welcome- the service was prompt and the food was great and very much in the same spirit as a Michelin star restaurant my wife and I went to in Cambridge the week before ; in fact I would go so far to say this meal in its collective was better and I would definitely recommend a visit
