Dig the Gardeners Arms

Part of the Hall & Woodhouse family of superb destination food pubs, and dating back to the 17th century, the Gardeners Arms is how we all imagine a country pub should be - cosy in the winter, with roaring log fires and traditional oak beams, and glorious in the summer, with a beautiful garden.
