The Garden

The Polecat sits comfortably in the heart of the Chilterns countryside, with a welcoming garden and dedicated outdoor pods that make the most of the rolling landscape—perfect for lingering over a pint when the weather obliges, or sheltering in warmth and comfort when it doesn’t. There’s a genuine sense of space here, with ample parking and a play area that speaks to families and groups settling in for the long haul. It’s the sort of place where you can arrive on a whim or book weeks ahead with equal confidence, where the kitchen is open and honest about what it’s doing, and where the staff seem genuinely pleased to see you. The real character, though, lies in the food—proper seasonal cooking, locally-minded, with the kind of attention to detail (think truffle-laced sides and carefully sourced ingredients) that elevates a countryside pub meal without losing sight of warmth and generosity.
