The Scrumpy House — Restaurant in England

We came here on the recommendation of friends who were eager for us to experience the Scrumpy House.

We were hugely impressed that the manager took the time to call me and address the concerns we expressed in the restaurant. And, because of this, we will return and give the restaurant another go perhaps...

The on site shop is a must for Cider lovers, the choices are endless from what I can only describe as "the best cider in the market" We...

Following a tour of the mill, we opted for a spot of lunch at The Scrumpy House.

Pleasantly greeted by staff, we were shown to our reserved table and quickly offered drinks. The obligatory Stowford press was ordered whilst we checked out the menu.

We opted for the fish finger sandwich, and the fish and chips. The sandwich was delicious, encased in granary bread, with mayo and ketchup, along with some skinny fries.

The fish was fresh, the batter cooked to perfection, with excellent chunky chips to accompany and a slice of lemon.

Overall, a tasty lunch and a great experience, we’ll...
