i went out for dinner on Thursday night with my wife, the pub was very full but made room for us next time we might book! the new bistro area has had a face lift and looks nice with big blown up pictures of the pub on the walls good to see some history. i had to start the scallops which were amazing set in a creamy delicate celeriac puree and topped with a crisp leek and bacon salad yum and my wife had the wild mushroom and goats cheese bruschetta nice change than always getting tomato bruschetta. the meals came out in 5 minutes. for our mains i choose the butter chicken curry and it was awesome nice and fresh and the curry base was definitely not from a jar, my wife had the chunky authentic bolognese and it was nice to see it done without mince meat! fresh herbs and nice Parmesan made it a delight to eat. service was ok had to get up for drinks a couple of times and no one offered deserts but we were full anyway. i did ask the waitress if the chef was new and he is! a young local man who shows a lot of passion for food i hope he keeps it up the telegraph seems to be on the right track again i will be back
