Just returned from a fantastic Sunday lunch here. We ordered the roast beef and the roast pork.

I deliberately chose this pub as on their website they sated that they serve the beef pink and rare - and I was not disappointed!

The beef was sensational and the veg and trimmings were perfectly cooked.

It came with cauliflower cheese, a green cabbage and and a red cabbage, with potatoes, carrots and a giant Yorkshire pudding.

Had to ask for a second jug of gravy as portions were small but it arrived swiftly. Without a doubt one of the best roast beef dinners I've ever had!

The crackling that came with the pork was incredibly small, and more of a sliver, but still very tasty. Probably better for the waistline this way but would have been nice if this was a bit bigger.

All in all big congrats to the chef and also the serving staff who were very pleasant.

In short, the Saracen's Head is an absolute cracker of a gastropub, cannot wait to return and sample more!

In Little Brington. A unassuming little pub, that is very popular for its restaurant class food. Lovely beer garden for when the English weather permits. I have included the road in, and the abandoned church on the corner of Roman Road. Locals were very friendly.

Lovely old pub inside with a decent garden with views, good real ales and dog friendly. Lovely setting, too.

Really lovey great food in a comfortable cosy pub. I could say just a tad on the pricey side but wont. I would sooner pay for great food and keep these lovely places open. Nice friendly staff too. Well worth a visit. Shame it's not a bit closer to us

We found this lovely little place in Little Brington through a friends reccomendation. We went on a Sunday as we heard their Sunday roasts are to die for and this was not wrong!
You need to book a reservation if coming on a Sunday as they are fully booked and with good reason!
Our table had the lamb/beef roasts and also the pie of the day which was pork with pear and parsnip.
When the meals came to the table the Yorkshire puddings were almost the size of my head! Huge! But just how a Yorkshire pudding should be! Light and fluffy with a golden crisp. The lamb was cooked to perfection and just melted in your mouth and the vegetables were well seasoned and flavoursome to the point my partner ate a parsnip and liked it for the first time in his life! So that’s got to say something for how lovely the food was! The roasts came with roasted vegetables and potatoes but also some side bowls containing red cabbage, greens and cauliflower cheese, all very nice!
Despite saying we were too full to move we still found room for sticky toffee pudding and ice cream! Which was lovely!
The staff were very friendly and attentive and overall it was a wonderful meal and atmosphere. They are also dog friendly in the bar and have a nice covered outdoor space as well.
Would highly recommend checking this place out if you’re passing this way.

Visited for lunch with my mum and dad. The place is cozy and the staff are very welcoming and helpful. We were served by Molly and Emma; thank you for a wonderful lunch. The food was first class! We had a baked Camembert and mushrooms starters and I had the pie of the day, which I must say was fantastic- just how pies should be. I highly recommend this place. We arrived not long after opening so we had a choice of tables, but best to reserve - it was definitely popular- even on a Tuesday lunch!

Even from the exterior Christmas decorations this bar/restaurant looked very inviting. Very friendly and the food was excellent. No small portions here! Certainly worth a return visit in the near future.
