| Description The Crooked Billet, built in 1642, is one of England's finest and most traditional country inns. Hidden off the beaten track down a narrow winding lane, nestling amongst beech and oak, backing on to meadowland, The Crooked Billet retains its period character and charm. This magical venue, with inglenook open fireplaces, low timbered ceilings and flagstone floors, was once the hideout of notorious highwayman Dick Turpin, who was romantically attached to the landlord's daughter, Bess. In 1989 Paul Clerehugh (owner of The London Street Brasserie) took over The Crooked Billet and quickly established a good reputation for excellent food throughout the surrounding area. The pub has been recognised by many external guides, with entries in the Good Food Guide, the Which Good Food Guide, the Good Pub Guide, AA Best Pubs and Inns Guide, and Restaurants of the Millennium. The pub also enjoys a modicum of media fame having been chosen as a location for big-screen movies, including Patriot Games and Landgirls, numerous television programmes and commercials. The picturesque surroundings and exquisite food make The Crooked Billet ideal for weddings, functions, events and celebrations - the venue can accommodate approximately 70 guests and may be booked exclusively. In addition, a marquee can be adjoined to the pub to accommodate up to 300 guests. There is also a private dining room which accommodates 50 guests - perfect for business, birthdays, luncheon meetings, Christmas, etc. The Crooked Billet cooks in an eclectic manner - Pacific rim with French provincial and popular brasserie favourites all working in harmony. The menu is very varied, with lunch and dinner served each day. A wide choice is available from the very good value set luncheon menu and the a la carte menu is regularly updated. (For example dishes see sample menu.) Opening Hours Last orders for food are shown in brackets where appropriate.
