The Silent Woman Inn is a tenancy with Local Brewers Hall and Woodhouse. Here you will discover the delights of Badger First Gold, Tanglefoot and maybe even the strangely named Fursty Ferret! With the addition of German Hofbrau Lager, Stowford Press Cider and Guinness, there is something for everyone. The wine list is varied introducing new varieties of old favourites. Most of the wines are available by the glass; a choice of two sizes offered.



Whether you require a three course meal or just a snack you are sure to find something to tempt you.

Some examples:

Pork Valentine steak topped with fresh pear and melted stilton

Trio of Lamb chops with a mixed berry and fresh rosemary sauce

Venision Casserole

Whole Trout stuffed with peppers and smothered with a tomato and herb sauce

Pints and half pints of shell-on Prawns served with salad, a roll and lots of hand wipes!!

Creamy Garlic Mushrooms

Prime Steaks

The list goes on and on.

The menu is varied by a Daily Specials Board where our Vegetarian choices may be found.

Our prices for a three course meal for two, including a bottle of wine are in the £40 to £50 price range. However you can experience our hospitality for much less, if you cannot eat three courses, as our main meals are in the range of £7.25 to £15 per head.

With the skills of Clive and Denise, we have no need to buy in pre-prepared food. All of our dishes are cooked to order using raw ingredients, thus most special diets can be catered for. People with dietary needs can be safe in the knowledge that Clive and Denise can inform you of exactly what each dish contains and, in many cases, can substitute ingredients to make the dish suitable e.g. gluten free gravy. We even have our own chickens laying free range eggs which are collected daily by Denise!! Look over the fence and you will see them staring back at you along with Ruud and Ronnie, our resident lawn mowers(also known as Sheep).

Sunday lunch time sees the appearance of a plated roast dinner just like Mum would make!

For those with a sweet tooth we offer a range of home made desserts including jam sponge with custard, fruit crumbles, sticky toffee pudding, profiteroles, bannoffee crunch etc.


Except for the madly busy days of the Summer, the dining tables are laid, for our booked diners, with linen napkins and crystal glasses. Low burning candles, in the winter months, add to the ambiance. Your orders will be taken at table by our attentive staff.
