BRAMFIELD The Grandison

After a long walk it is a treat to come across this pub which is dog friendly.The Grandison describes itself as a 'village pub and dining rooms'. Once upon a time I am guessing it was just a village pub but current owners have turned it into a gourmet dining experience! Dogs are welcomed in the 'bar' area - which has about as many dining tables as the restaurant anyway. Almost everyone there was eating dinner when we visited - us included. The food is amazing - and priced accordingly as you would imagine, with much of the produce being locally sourced. Not only are they open all day every day - Fri to Sun they offer a special brunch, and they have a farm shop/deli attached next door too.
