Outstanding venue, great food complete with the best service, thank you

Top service, great waiters ! Even better food. Thanks for a fantastic evening.

Great country pub. Impressed that they could serve us a roast at short notice. Only issue was they gave us a giant plate for a toddler in a high chair and it was a wee bit cold where we were sat.

Our first visit to Butterflies was a treat from start to finish. From its unassuming location, the warm, welcoming interior is a wonderful surprise. The staff are friendly, engage in just the right amount of small-talk to make you feel like one of the regulars immediately, without being over the top. The food? High quality, high quantity, locally sourced.. what more could you ask for? Everything came out in a relatively short time after ordering, three of us were so full we couldn’t face dessert, but the ones that did order had a huge plate of sweet goodness each too! Would we go back? We booked our next visit before we’d even left the table! Excellent.

Dinner, Sat night, five of us, in one of about five different dining areas in this higgledepiggly 16 cent inn, with its ancient egon ronay and AA plates round the porch betraying a succession of owners each leaving a legacy: there's an eightiesish conference-roomey space, a sixtiesish dining room with bright ceiling lights, high backed settles and a fake fire; or a 16 century bar with loads of nooks (and standing locals), and a cavernous log fire all connected by a patterned carpeted floor so uneven you'd think you'd been drinking since noon...and the gothic 'mind your head' signage beloved by copper kettle tea rooms in cathedral towns... but the folk running this now (after a long series of owners including real Basil Fawlties) know exactly what they're doing, so: a board of sourdough with oil and balsamic (never enough, of course) as we scanned the shrewdly condensed menu (4 starters, 4 mains, no main over £20 and no need for sides) of which we all had roughly one of everything and all was pretty impeccable, both cooking and presentation: whipped cods roe with airy sourdough slices; rillettes (so-so, they usually are), a luscious, glutinous ox cheek stew with bricks of perfect dauphinoise; what they describe as chalk stream trout was a perfectly cooked pink steak-size cross-section of fish in a creamy lagoon of tiny veg, raved about, all followed by panna cottas and creme brulees and a bill that was - if you take off my extravagant buy of a vintage bin-end - about £46 pp. We waddled out stuffed and happy and didn't trip up on the ancient cobbled pavement.
