A repeat visit to a venue that we really enjoyed on our previous visit (18th June 2010; http://oldhorsesnosebagclub.blogspot.com/2010/06/18th-june-2010-little-dudley-house.html). It did not disappoint happily, as we had bigged it up to the 4th Old Horse, Hazel, and brought her with us.

Starters: Smoked salmon (x 3) and guinea fowl terrine.

Mains: A Chateaubriand for two, Slow Cooked Duck Leg and Duo of Pork (Braised Cheeks and Roast Loin), plus an extra portion of 'Hand Cut Thrice Cooked Chips'.

Desserts: A bit of a gap in the memory here, but I do remember several of us having the Chocolate and Chestnut Torte.

Drinks: Caipirinhas x 2, Mojito and Long Island Iced Tea; water.

As before, we were unable to find anything to criticise. Excellent food, delicious drinks and wonderful service.

Our rating: FIVE STARS

I've managed to delay this posting so very long, that I can no longer remember everything we had. I know I had a lamb stew which was utterly delicious, but that's it. And the menu has changed, so I can't use that to jog my poor memory.

What I can tell you is that I can heartily recommend this restaurant. The atmosphere is welcoming and warm, the staff are efficient and friendly, and the food is well presented and delicious.
