The Huntsman And Hounds

Charming Ambience with Stellar Service

My recent visit to the quaint Huntsman and Hounds was nothing short of delightful. Tucked away in a charming setting that embodies old-world allure, this gem welcomes diners with an inviting atmosphere, washed in the warm glow reminiscent of English countryside retreats. Upon arrival, guests are greeted by the comforting hum of friendly chatter and attentive staff—Julie, Lorraine, and Marcel exude genuine hospitality, as though welcoming you into their own home. It is easy to understand how this venue has become a beloved gathering spot for the community, particularly for social renditions such as their lauded quiz nights.

The carefully curated menu offers a taste that sings of homely flavors with sophistication under the able skills of chefs like Damion and Joanne. My Sunday roast was splendid; the beef was tender and flavorful, complemented perfectly by distinctive accompaniments. Menu regulars and newcomers alike find joy here, whether delighting in the luscious spices of a chicken tikka curry or embracing the hearty allure of an Ember steak night. While visiting, I noticed several patrons settling in with comfort over traditional fare paired thoughtfully with handcrafted ales, and despite some challenges at the pumps on occasion, the ambiance remains jubilant. Whether guests come together for funerals or family celebrations, this establishment stands as a proud cornerstone for heartfelt moments, dressed with culinary fare that's sure to beckon your return. — Jasper Griddle
