A quintessentially English restaurant in a beautifully renovated 17th-Century barn, Timbers is one of this county’s hidden treasures and a must for fans of traditional, locally sourced food. This charming restaurant has a strong sense of community, with regular clientele keeping the atmosphere buoyant and friendly. Frequent tribute nights, centred on everything from World War II to Michael Bublé, are hugely popular – there is also live jazz every first Friday of the month. The menu features hearty fare such as tender steak, delicately cooked fillet of salmon and rich lasagne – you must try their famous Sunday roast too. Timbers is fully licensed and available for private hire; its barn surroundings create a lovely setting for celebrations. Once you’ve discovered Timbers, you certainly won’t forget it.
