You will be quite tired and sometimes quite full a the end of each day, and you are most welcome to take home some of the leftovers from lunch, however it is also lovely to go out in the evening, and there are lots of amazing places to eat. And because they are so good, we would always suggest that you book in advance to avoid disappointment.
These are some of our favourites –
The Althorp Coaching Inn, Great Brington
With oak beams, flagstone floors and a roaring log fire, The Althorp Coaching Inn is all you would expect from a traditional village pub. This 16th century coaching inn, just 7 miles from the school, is a listed stone and thatch building. It has a courtyard, an enclosed garden and a beautiful, vintage-style barn. The inn specialises in quality British food, real ales and fine wines. The menu ranges from bar meals to classic restaurant dishes, made from locally sourced ingredients wherever possible.
