Named for the original owner’s ingenious solution to sourcing a signpost, Crooked Billet combines rustic charm with olde-worlde style and comfort. Choose to dine al fresco on balmy summer days, and spend the remainder of the year enjoying the range of fine ale on offer in this exemplary country tavern. Food at Crooked Billet offers exceptional variety, with five separate menus available at different points through the week; there’s truly something for everyone here. Pub favourites are presented with a culinary twist, such as rib-eye steak with delicious garlic and herb butter, roasted tomatoes, mushrooms and chunky chips. Other inspired dishes will excite even the most adventurous eaters, with the likes of tender slow-roasted duck leg, champ-crushed new potatoes, crunchy snow peas and rich redcurrant sauce displaying impressive imagination.
Meanwhile, the innovative grazing menu offers a selection of tapas-style dishes, all designed as light bites to accompany an evening of fine drinks. Options include British classics like pork pie with real ale chutney, and fennel pork crackling with Bramley apple sauce. All priced between £2 and £5, you’ll find a great range to complement your drink, at a thoroughly reasonable price.
