About The Barking Buck

Log fires, a decent-sized car park right outside and a genuinely warm welcome make this small-village pub an easy one with children in tow — there's free parking, buggy access, high chairs and a kids' menu, plus outdoor seating when the weather plays along. The seating areas are varied enough that you can pick a quieter corner, and the team are attentive without hovering, which helps when someone's patience is running short. The cooking is a step above standard pub food: pub classics alongside Asian and Italian touches, with the Sunday roast pork, sirloin steak and the chef's curry drawing particular praise, and a serious dessert list. One parent describes it as "a gem in a very small village". Prices are fair for the quality, though it's a proper sit-down meal rather than a quick in-and-out, and worth booking at weekends.
