Food & Drink

Food at The Martlet Inn has all the warmth you would expect from a proper country pub. Menus change with the seasons and make use of produce from local farmers and growers, combining hearty traditional favourites with fresher modern dishes. The food is cooked in-house, with the emphasis firmly on good ingredients, generous hospitality and dishes you will look forward to after a day exploring the countryside. Breakfast is available to staying guests each morning. The bar is well-stocked with cask ales, wines, cocktails, lagers and ciders. In winter, a spot beside the substantial double-sided log burner is hard to beat; when the weather warms up, the pretty garden provides a relaxed place for lunch or an afternoon drink.
