The Menu

The Gin Trap Inn offers award winning top quality food. In addition to the AA rosette, we have retained our Bib Gourmand  from Michelin.  A mouth-watering menu of light and main meals are available as well as a special childrens menu , all of which are freshly prepared using the very best of the season’s local ingredients.  Enjoy your meal in the cosy pub bar or the comfort of the Gin Trap Inn restaurant. Our current menu from our Head Chef Darren Smith is shown below.
