Stretton Fox

This is a pub nearby to my parents and I’ve been here a few times. Its a nice pub and its got a few nice big open fires so thats nice in the winter (or any time its cold so could be any time of the year!).
Its a pretty large pub but every time I’ve visited its pretty much full — always been a weekend around lunch time.
Last time I visited I had the breaded mushrooms for starter — can’t remember the sauce it came with but that was nice and the mushrooms were not bad too — shame about the pot sauce came in had cracks. For main I had the slow cooked chicken. Other people had chargrilled chicken and a couple pies. Unfortunately it was a slightly longer wait than expected — maybe my chicken was really being slow cooked.
This time my food was «OK». The leg part of the chicken was nice but the breast part was very dry which was a shame. I had a decent amount of gravy but not enough. The veg was nothing to write home about!
I remember on previous visits the food overall being a bit «meh» — which is the definition of a ²⁄₅ rating so it gets a 2.
I have to mention that on one visit we got a couple shared platter things for starters — including I think with various deep fried things. Which I remember liking the platters. But my rating is taking all the few visits overall.

A lovely country side pub just a short walk from my hotel. Had good Fish and Chips with green pea mash and a great rhubarb, plum and cherrry crumble.
The buidling, interior and nice staff adds half a star.
