The Restaurant
Winner of the Publican's Food Newcomer of the Year Award 2006.
There is a separate, fully licensed, non-smoking restaurant at the Thorverton Arms. Our chef and landlord, Garth Pearse, has more than 10 year's experience in the trade.
He insists on only the best ingredients and ensures that all our meat and vegetables are sourced locally. All beef comes from carefully selected cattle from local farms and is hung for 21 days, giving it real flavour and tenderness. Our grass fed lambs are also selected from local farms and all pork comes from free range Gilt pigs reared on a Wellington farm. Chicken and duck are bred to the highest welfare standards.
With a large choice of traditional English food, our philosophy is straight forward: simple, fresh, home-made food presented in a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere and offered at affordable prices. For example, home made soups and pates, a comprehensive selection of meat, including steaks, lamb, duck and chicken, home-made lasagne and beef burgers, and a range of delicious puddings, including treacle tart, clotted cream fudge cake and meringues.
If you have any special dietary needs please let us know, as most dishes can be adjusted to suit your requirements.
