The Horse and Chains

Lovely pub with a nice ambience. I’ve had two meals in the pub and one in the private dining room with a large group. Attentive service and good value. Highly recommend the chicken liver pâté and the beetroot, pumpkin and goat cheese salad.

Needed an early evening meal and internet search found this pub up the road from where we were going to be in the evening.
Arrived about 5.15 which is quite early for an evening meal. Were given a table and told we’d need to vacate it for 7.30, well as we were singing in a concert and had to be at the venue for 7.15 latest, that wasn’t going to be a problem.
It’s quite a small pub, although there is outside seating. We were very impressed with their menu. If you’ve read my other reviews you’ll know we eat vegetarian when we’re out and have found that not every restaurant has much of a choice for the discerning vegetarian.
At the same time as being guided to our table, we were advised that as we were «early diners» we’d get 2 meals for the price of one! For a Saturday, when Tastecard isn’t an option, we thought this was really good.
We both had the smoked salmon salad — I can liken it to a salad nicoise but with salmon and asparagus — really delicious! We proceeded to have dessert too and I highly recommend the special dessert of the day — a treacle pudding with a hint of lemon and elderflower (or something like that!). My husband settled on the Tolberone and Baileys Cheesecake with chocolate sauce. I had a small glass of rose wine and my husband had a coke. The bill came to just over £20 as we got 2 for the price of one on both the main meals and the desserts!
We will definitely be returning to this lovely pub again!
