Hey all
Sorry been away for such along time, but now back with a bang!!!!
I would like to introduce you to a fav of mine a pub with a classic culture but a history that will blow you away.
The Hinds Head Pub in Bray(near Maidenhead) comes packed with some of the best British pub grub you could find, being owned by one of the most iconic chef in the world know for owning and running the "Fat Duck" (which is a few doors down) Heston Blumenthal so you know you will be in for a gastronomic treat to tickle those taste buds:-).
The History behind this place is remarkable The Hinds Head was built in the 15th century with an obscure origin, some say a royal hunting lodge and others a guest house for the local Abbot of Cirencester. Whatever it’s past it has been at the very heart of life in Bray as a welcoming and loved local village pub for over 400 years. The Hinds Head has played host to the British Royal Family, entertaining the young Queen Elizabeth II and other European royal heads of state in 1963, to celebrate the engagement of Princess Margaret to Lord Snowdon. It was also the chosen venue of Prince Phillip, who celebrated his stag night at The Hinds Head, before his marriage to the Queen in 1947.
The restaurant has a great tasting menu for the food and a great selection of beers with a ever changing guest beer available.
A must see . please book in advance its a busy place !!!!!!!!

Working alongside food historians including the Tudor Kitchens at Hampton Court Palace in Surrey, Heston Blumenthal is also rediscovering the origins of British cuisine in a bid to recreate dishes inspired by a bygone era, for the Hinds Head.
