Built in 1831 in a fold of the Chiltern Hills as a beer and cider house and formerly known as The Rising Sun, this fashionable dining pub was re-named after two latter day proprietors, Mr Mole and Mr Chicken: of such stuff are legends made. A tastefully decorated interior features cosy fireplaces, rag-washed walls and flagstone floors in the oak beamed bar, while the tiered and terraced garden enjoys outstanding views across three counties. Suggested menu specialities, posted on boards over the fireplace's oak lintel, include secret recipe fishcakes with mild curry sauce and skewers of satay chicken and shell-on prawns enticingly entitled Horses Douvay. Follow then with marinated and slow roast rack of pork ribs, salmon filled with prawn and dill mousse in filo pastry or penne pasta tossed in sun-dried tomato pesto. Roast lamb shoulder with honey and rosemary sauce and local pheasant with shallots, red wine, bacon and sage provide further variations on traditional themes.
