Dinner @ Hind's Head - Bray

Dear Fighter, Dear Mr. Blumenthal,

I know, the Hind's Head is not your flagship. But I suggest you should walk across the street more often from the Fat Duck to have a look at the kitchen. The food was not all bad, but too mixed. When I visit a restaurant / pub like yours a expect to get a perfect dish no matter what I order. I understand, there may be difference in taste, but if 7 people agree....I think they are right!

Half a Dozen Duchy of Cornwall Oysters £12.50

| Amazing Oysters, fresh, fresh, fresh

Soused Herrings with Beetroot and Horseradish £7.50

|
excellent fish, horseradish was lacking a bit
