Bidrage med feedbackThe pony trap is a Michelin Starland pig by josh and holly eggleton in chew magna, about 7 miles south of bristol. the pub places the focus on a field to eat ethos and source food as locally as possible by suppliers around the chew valley and the southwest. chef josh eggleton was recently on the great british menu and has an impressive pedigree that worked in the colors of the french laundry and chanterelle. during our visit last month we ordered the tasting menu to £60 per head along with the very competitive wine flight to £25. a selection of canaps have been delivered, among them boiled with apfelsauce, scallipops, pan-fried scallops...read more

To bemoan that nauseating fool in the office who will ruin the holiday mood first thing Monday morning.
