The Hinds Head

The Hinds Head

The Hinds Head is a gastropub in Bray, Berkshire. The pub dates from the 15th century, and was converted into a restaurant in the 1920s. It was awarded a single Michelin star in the 2013 edition of the Michelin Guide. It has been owned by chef Heston Blumenthal since 2004.

The Hinds Head dates from the 15th century, and the interior of the pub includes a panel commemorating the Vicar of Bray from the Tudor period who reportedly changed his political allegiance on three occasions due to the changes in the state religion of England. The interior retains elements of its earlier eras, including an open fireplace. The pub is owned by chef Heston Blumenthal, and is located nearby his three Michelin star restaurant, The Fat Duck.

The menu at the Hinds Head features dishes of British cuisine such as "Oxtail and Kidney Pudding" and "Tea-smoked Salmon with Sour Cream Butter and Soda Bread". Blumenthal's Triple Cooked Chips are also on the menu. Blumenthal had said that the development of the cooking methods for those chips was his first foray into a scientific approach to cooking. Former head chef Dominic Chapman worked with Blumenthal to develop a trifle for the dessert menu, which included multiple layers of syllabub, and both tea syrup and a green tea infusion. The menu includes both a set menu and a selection of a la carte dishes.

The pub has retained its bar, and has a range of bar snacks including pork scratchings and scotch eggs made with quail eggs. While Blumenthal was researching historical dishes, several were tested out at the Hinds Head, including "quaking pudding" from the Tudor era, and chocolate wine from the 17th century. Beers served include those from the Greene King Brewery as well as guest beers from smaller breweries.

Answer 3

The Old Bull and Bush

The Old Bull and Bush

The Old Bull and Bush is a Grade II listed public house near Hampstead Heath in London which gave its name to the music hall song "Down at the old Bull and Bush" sung by Florrie Forde.

The Old Bull and Bush is managed by Mitchells and Butlers under the Premium Country Dining Group brand. The interior was renovated to a modern, gastropub style with an openly visible kitchen and reopened to the public on 24 March 2006. Until the introduction of the English smoking ban on July 1, 2007, The Bull and Bush was one of the few completely smoke-free pubs in London.

The earliest record of a building on the site is of a farmhouse in 1645. The farmhouse gained a licence to sell ale in 1721. William Hogarth drank here, and is believed to have been involved in planting out the pub garden.

The pub gained a music licence in 1867 when Henry Humphries was the landlord, and the pub became popular as a day trip for cockneys, resulting in the Florrie Forde song "Down at the old Bull and Bush".

The building underwent a major reconstruction in 1924 when owned by the Ind Coope brewery. Another refurbishment took place in 1987.

Near to the pub was the site of the proposed North End tube station (also called Bull and Bush) on the Northern line of the London Underground. Only the platforms were excavated, and the station construction was cancelled. An entrance leading down 197 steps to platform level is located on the corner of North End and Wildwood Terrace.

Sir Charles Napier Inn

The Sir Charles Napier Inn (commonly known as the Sir Charles Napier or simply the Charles Napier) is a gastropub in Spriggs Alley about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) south of Chinnor, Oxfordshire, England. It was built in the early 19th century and is named (along with several other English pubs) after General Sir Charles James Napier (1782-1853).

As of 2002 its proprietor for 35 years had been Julie Griffiths.

Kaye Griffiths' family had been farmers in Chinnor for two generations. His father bought the pub, which abuts the family's land, in the 1960s for £4,000, and put Kaye's wife, Julie, whose parents had been in the hotel trade, in charge.

Initially the cook was Kaye, although he was later replaced with a chef named Batiste from Sardinia, who remained chef for 19 years. In the middle 1990s Kaye became estranged from Julie, and in 1996 he renovated and moved into a cowshed near to the Inn with his son, transferring his interest in the business to his wife. In 2002 Kaye was fined for the renovation and ordered to demolish the cowshed.

For 10 years the restaurant was run by Stan Parkes, who was then replaced in 1987 by Caroline, Julie's daughter.
