5 /5 Richard Patino: The Pheasant Inn – what a gem! ★★★★★
This place feels like stepping into a warm hug. It’s genuinely authentic and incredibly cozy, with that rare charm you only get from a true family-run spot. You’re greeted and looked after by the owner (the dad) and his two children who clearly pour their hearts into everything they do. The way they treat every guest makes you feel like you’re dining at a friend’s home rather than a restaurant.
The food is excellent – hearty, flavorful, and cooked with care – but it’s the atmosphere and the people that make it really special. If you’re looking for somewhere that combines great cooking with proper warmth and hospitality, this is it. Can’t recommend it enough!
