Hind’s Head

Oozing atmosphere, this 15th-century pub offers diners the chance to experience Heston Blumenthal’s highly creative cuisine in a relatively affordable, informal setting. The food’s less zany than you might expect from his reputation, but still has plenty of whimsical touches. Try the roast cod with mussel-and-saffron broth, or the onion-wrapped brown bread royale with Marmite emulsion.
