What is it? A truly authentic pub with dishes based around local venison and fish. An open fire in the Elk Room, where roasts are cooked daily, gives it an intimate atmosphere.
Why go? The Elk Room features an enormous elk skull – antlers and all – over said open fire. And in the midst of all the heritage country splendour, look out for artwork by Tracey Emin, Damien Hirst and Lucian Freud. The pub is also right by the charming 1,000-acre Gunton deer park.
