The Blue Boar - Reserva de mesa

Excited to return to one of our favourite pubs for dinner. It had been several years since we’d visited, and this evening was a little special to treat a very good friend. For mains I ordered scampi, chips and peas. First of all when you order scampi you would expect to receive scampi but no I did not. What was on my plate was tasteless prawns in bread crumbs. To top that, there were only eight of them with a plate three quarters covered in pale yellow chips, and a small bowl of peas. That for £17.00 did not go down well. My friend ordered, salmon filet with sweet chilli sauce, rice and Pak Choi. The rice and Pak Choi were stone cold. The salmon was nice. My friend struggled to enjoy her mea...

We stopped off here on our way home to Wales from Gatwick Airport. Our main reason was to see the village; being Doctor Who fans we wanted to see one of the most celebrated locations in the show's history. Aldbourne became Devils End for the classic serial Daemons starring Jon Pertwee. However on the off chance, we asked if they could accommodate our party (10 people) which they could and so we sat down to one of the absolute best dining experiences I have ever had. The food was excellent, both in terms of the choices on the menu and the standard of cooking. They also serve a good range of fine ales (including Wadworths 6X a simply stunning beer). The staff were wonderful, so friendly and we...

The Blue Boar was used by members of Easy Company during WW2 and also has a good selection of photographs and copies of personal letters. This establishment was, apparently, restricted to officers only although ordinary servicemen could use it provided there were no officers present. The pub looks attractive from the outside. However, my wife and I found it lacked character and was slightly chilly even though the weather was warm and sunny outside. I ordered a salmon fillet with Pok Choy and boiled rice. Unfortunately, the rice came without any type of dressing or sauce and the salmon was a quite small piece. When I complained about the presentation, they did provide a small dish of sweet ch...

Came here inspired by dr who (Jon Pertwee days) but had a wonderful day out. The village is gorgeous, a real time capsule. Did a lovely walk up to 4 barrows. Well worth the views. Then a look around the very interesting church. The Blue boar is on the village green. A lovely old pub with good seating outside. Quaint pub atmosphere in front room and a restaurant area at the back. Service excellent. Coffee very tasty and the food for lunch was excellent. Homemade not shipped in! Chef even came round to ask if it was ok. It definitely was! And of course Wadworth beer and red wine very tasty. Highly recommended Reserva una mesa ahora

Probably the worst coffee and toasties ever. My wife and I tried lunch ordering 2 flat white coffees and two chicken and mozzarella toasties on brown bread. Firstly both coffees were that strong you could virtually stand a spoon up in them. Toasties were hard old stale bread with a small amount of chicken and shredded mozzarella cheese. Anybody who knows mozzarella knows it is wet and cannot be shredded, this cheese was tasteless and not mozzarella. The bread was old and dry, made worst by toasting. The whole lot cost £17, we will not be visiting this pub again.

Proper English country pub, good selection of wines and beers, including well kept ales. Varied menu, far from your basic pub grub, everything we have tried has been excellent. Smiley happy staff, very friendly chef personally comes out of the kitchen to check all is well. Nice comfy ambiance inside and chilled outdoor seating overlooking a very English green. Really like this place, good value, and interesting connections with both Dr Who and The Screaming Eagles. Worth a stop.

I went for lunch with three friends and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The menu was both extensive and interesting, offering a wide variety of options from bar snacks to full lunches. The burgers were especially delicious, and the special of Venison with sautéed sweet potato was a particularly satisfying and tasty choice. We couldn't find any faults with our food. The restaurant had a pleasant atmosphere and the staff were friendly and efficient.

I went to Aldbourne because it was featured in an episode of Doctor Who. I stopped by the pub for lunch, and the staff noticed my Doctor Who t-shirt. They pointed out the Doctor Who display in the corridor between the bar and restrooms. I ordered a light lunch and a drink, and both the staff and other customers were very friendly and polite.

The restaurant offers an excellent selection of beers in great condition. The staff was helpful and the food was delicious. We tried the Sunday Roast, which was exceptionally tasty.

We arrived without booking, 8 of us and 3 horses and had light lunch and drinks. They couldn't have been more kind or helpful. Thank you
