Mad and fun as it has been for years, unique family owned, don't go if you haven't got a sense of humour 😀.
Good traditional country pub. Friendly landlord.
If you haven't visited this pub, you're missing out! My wife and I were staying nearby and came to the Blinking Owl for dinner, and what a treat it was! David, the landlord, have us a lovely greeting and was an excellent host, sharing jokes and stories from his 38 years running the pub with his wife, Sylvia. There was an excellent selection of real ales on tap (I went for the Cumberland ale 👌🏻) while my wife had a soft drink, of which there was also a wide selection. We had dinner the restaurant end of the pub, served by Sylvia. There were the usual pub classics (fish n chips, steaks, scampi, pies, chilli con carne, salads - you get the idea). I asked for the ribeye and my wife had bolognese. I didn't really have room for dessert but I went for some strudel with custard anyway and ate the lot 😆 Everything was perfectly cooked and presented. The pub itself is one of the most quintessentially classic British pubs I've ever seen. Imagine the way pubs were in the 70s & 80s, and you're pretty much there (minus smoking and darts). The photos will paint a far better picture than I can. All in all a very enjoyable and entertaining evening and I hugely recommend the Blinking Owl. Next time we're in the area, we will be back! By the way, they do take cards payments.
Lovely family run pub that is full of character and is nestled in a beautiful village. Comfortable, warm and welcoming. Our visit was on a cold February evening and the real fire was a joy. Great food and real ale. Recommend that you book a table if you want to eat.
Fabulous quaint and traditional country pub. Dog friendly and rare to find these days
