Heston Blumenthal's Hinds Head in Bray-on-Thames, Berkshire, has been named as Pub of the Year 2011 in the new Michelin Eating Out in Pubs guide.
The pub's menu combines traditional favourites with rediscovered recipes and sample dishes include shepherd's pie, oxtail and kidney pudding, Scotch quail egg and quaking pudding.
According to the Good Food Guide 2011, the Hind's Head's head chef Clive Dixon has recently left the pub.
Blumenthal who owns the award-winning Fat Duck restaurant, has just opened a second pub in Bray called the Crown, opposite the Hind's Head.
Blumenthal's pub menu is a world away from his more radical style of cooking at the Fat Duck.
The chef's vision at the Hind's Head was to uncover long-forgotten recipes and recreate down-to-earth dishes but using up-to-date techniques.
He spent time behind the scenes with food historians from the Tudor Kitchens at Hampton Court Palace and historical desserts on the menu include Sussex pond and quaking puddings.

Oh high handed, magnificent and perfect BOB. Thank you so much for going to the trouble, in your usual fashion, to point out that my usual fashion is to post fallacy. That's rubbish matey and you're no perfect ten. You should put your loose use of language to better use.

I was just pointing out how bitter and twisted you appear to be about almost everyone else in the trade, Saint Bob.

Pray tell us more about your deeply incisive view of Heston's extraordinary success, no doubt built on a foundation of indolence, low standards and poor organisation Bob.

Also from the Telegraph, as handily overlooked by Saint Bob trying to prove my propensity for posting fallacy:

"However, environmental health officials have now decided not to prosecute the 43-year-old chef over alleged breaches of food safety legislation at the eatery, which is one of only three in Britain to hold three Michelin stars.

Windsor and Maidenhead Council said that although the restaurant could have taken greater steps to combat the norovirus outbreak, there was insufficient evidence to take formal action...

The Health Protection Agency found that uncooked oysters supplied by a firm in Colchester, Essex, had become infected with the bug, most likely through raw sewage leaked into the sea."

I ought to be flattered Saint Bob went to so much trouble to make a point so poorly.
