“We are delighted to have picked this award up and hope we can kick on and keep improving.

Opened by the husband and wife team of Daniel Crump and Margriet Vandezande-Crump in December 2019, the pub establishment has only traded for seven months due to the pandemic. 

Based in a 17th century Grade II listed old Coaching Inn, it offers guests a modern take on British classics, served in a dining room created with comfort in mind.

It also offers beers and ales from local breweries.

The inclusion in the list should come as no surprise as the duo have worked in some of the UK’s most established restaurants, such as Michelin starred Petrus in Knightsbridge, Restaurant Gordon Ramsay in Chelsea, Trinity in Clapham, and also The Oxford Blue, Old Windsor.

Margriet  Vandezande-Crump added: “We are so pleased to have won this award.

“It’s safe to say that the last year has been tough on so many levels but this award is testament to what we’ve been able to achieve alongside our community.
