 The Blue Boar

The Blue BoarThe oldest parts of the inn date back to the early 1600s and records show that there has been an alehouse on this site since that time. With comfortable, valued throughout, well-equipped accommodation, traditional charm and attractive original features, the Blue Boar represents the best of an old English country pub, where traditional values and atmosphere still survive. For the past 5 centuries, highly regarded, the Blue Boar has been welcoming guests in to enjoy its warm and friendly ambience. The bar is filled with authentic original character and history, and above all, with pictures on the wall, original documentation and memorabilia complementing the charming open fire and original flagstones. The rooms have all of the modern comforts and facilities you need, very much appreciated, while many still retain impressive original features, such as wooden beams and stone walls. Experience the Blue Boar’s historic past and stay in one of the attractive and well equipped en suite rooms.

Food & Beverages

Working closely with head chef Jason Brew, the team continue to serve up great quality food, both in the à la carte restaurant and in the bar areas, which offer good old pub grub. The Blue Boar enjoys a great reputation for food from both customers and suppliers alike and the inn serves breakfast, lunch and evening meals. The menus are all about proper pub food and the inn continues to offer the traditional favourites, although chef is constantly trying to improve on their flavour and presentation. The regular specials offer variety, with seasonal local produce, and game in particular, used to best effect. The specials change on a daily basis to reflect the finest, freshest produce available locally. The inn also offers a range of delicious home-made desserts, including banana crunch and chocolate torte. You can enjoy a refreshing pint of hand-pulled real ale in the bar, which always has 4 cask ales on, ready to be pulled. The bar regularly offers at least 2 local ales and the renowned Shakespeare Brewery is just 4 miles (6.5 km) away. The guest ale changes on a monthly basis. The glass-covered well in the restaurant bar is some 35 feet deep and its pure water was once used in the brewing process. Today, the well is the home of a family of koi carp.
