Today, it is a handsome spot for decent pub food — fish ’n’ chips, pies, but also things like rabbit and venison — one where neighbours come and sink pints and schooners of white wine on the grass as the sun cloaks itself in night. Inside, dogs lie at their owners feet, each exhausted from the long country walk it takes to get here.
Country pub of the week: The Fox and Duck, Therfield
