Our favourite foodie pubs

Everything you’d want of a lovely country inn – pretty rooms, tasty food, local ales in a beamed bar and fabulous walking

A humdinger of a pub, hidden in a sleepy village in the Surrey Hills, oozing character and charm and with delicious food and comfy bedrooms

Elegant rooms behind a popular village pub with country walks from the door, and the spectacular Peak District and stately homes nearby

A gorgeous inn lost in lush country with hammocks in the garden, sofas in the drawing room and lovely local food in the popular restaurant

Proper village pub with much-praised food and cosy rooms; country walks lead from the door and Oxford is half an hour away

Rest, restore, and explore… from this smart, successful Cotswolds’ gastropub with plenty of beams, rafters and real log fires

Scotch eggs at the bar, game from the estate, pizza and a good film in the kitchen garden.. and some exceedingly handsome bedrooms

Walk, ride, bike or canoe, climb a mountain, head for Hay, then return to a comfortable bar, warm bedrooms and delicious food

Stylish bedrooms, scrumptious fish menu. Fill your boots (and pack your wellies) at this village gem in Derbyshire's lovely crown

A friendly family-run inn, ideal for foodies and dog-walkers who love their comforts. Peaceful, remote, but with Sherborne a short drive

Friendly inn in the middle of Sedbergh. Lots of bedrooms to choose from, suntrap picnic area, walks in the Yorkshire Dales on the doorstep
