Local Pubs
Both the Black Horse at Nuthurst and the White Horse at Maplehurst are nice country pubs that do food and is a short walk to both. The Black Horse has a more 'bistro' feel and the White Horse typical 'pub grub'. An added bonus at the White Horse is a massive beer garden opening up onto fields and a small playground. Great for famiies with kids!
