We visited with friends for a catch up and lunch and as expected it was delicious, straight into the roast pork for me and everyone else had the beef and we share d a side of cauliflower cheese, all of the food was exceptional! Tasty and great portions. Dessert was delish, one had the baked checked, one had the affogato and 2 of us had the orange filo cake, wow oh wow that was next level! Chloe looked after us amazingly and Clare was great at checking in

The Four Pears is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, again, the friendly team made us feel warmly welcomed we brought friends this time which we dont do often and they felt truly at home. The highlight of my meal the warm scotch egg starter amazing.— And the roast? Outstanding! Each element was cooked to perfection, tender meat, crispy roast potatoes and rich gravy. The portions were generous, and you could tell every dish was made with high-quality ingredients and care. It’s rare to find a place that gets the classics so right. Highly recommended!

We moved into little houghton in April 2024,we had a Sunday roast here,since then it's changed hands and we had a very dissapointing meal tonight,via the new owners! The staff were lovely,however the food was very poor!!It was vastly overpriced,and our burger arrived on a piece of paper on chopping board, no garnish not even gastro chips included in the price? The "gastro chips" were not! They were thin and dry.The food was heavily salted,we sadly won't be going back now it's changed hands.If you compare this tk the Rose and Crown in Yardley Hastings it's another world!The burgers are far superior and presented with a side salad,coleslaw all handmade,plus the chips are included and are big ,fluffy and crisp! What a dissapointing overpriced meal for an anniversary dinner.I have only 1 good thing to say,and that's the staff couldn't have been nicer! Won't he returning I'm.afraid.

The food was extremely good and we really enjoyed our night. We were however disappointed that there were not more gluten free options. Especially as 2 of the starters would have been Gluten free if they had just bought a loaf of GF bread. And similar in the deserts as a burnt basque cheesecake is normally gluten free so you’d have thought they be able to adapt it to create another option for gf guests. Other than just getting overpriced scoops of ice cream.

Love this gorgeous country pub - we have been here a number of times but just had to write about the Porcetta bap I had for lunch - it was truly sublime and my partner loved the crackling too! Partner had a chicken thigh club sandwich and he said the meat was lovely and moist (fantastic to see chicken thigh on a menu) - we will be back again as the food and service never fails to deliver.

First time at the Four Pears and certainly not be the last. A well designed restaurant/bar with a truly fantastic menu. Excellent staff welcome no matter who we dealt with. Ultra modern interior but a real pub exterior - the best of both worlds. 2 Sunday Roasts were massive but add a cauliflower cheese and they became almost impossible to finish. 1 Roast Chicken Thigh whilst only a little smaller, was still there to test the largest of appetites. A beautiful meal, well cooked and served quickly made this a lovely experience for a birthday meal. Nice to be able to unwind over coffee and drinks in the bar area. A lovely pub/restaurant which is modern inside but traditional looking local outside. Not the cheapest place but certainly value for money

I was really looking forward to trying the The Four pears, it just didn’t live up to my expectations!!!! Food was ok. Burger was bland and looked boring and my partner food the veggie pasta was really just pasta twists. Not even fresh pasta !!!! It lacked atmosphere, no music had to ask for the light on table to be lit and really if your charging that price you need table linen not paper napkins. The interior is awful it’s so dated very Dunelm . Best part really was the staff. I couldn’t even read the bill as the print on the receipt was so dull as they need new ink !!! School boy errors. The bill was nearly £350 for 5 and as it was a birthday celebration it was just disappointing!!!

I have to say how disappointed we were, we had the Sunday roast the potatoes must have been cooked the day before, we ordered whist sitting in the bar and within 3 minutes the food was ready, the Microwave must have been working overtime. If I was being honest I have better food in hospital, I would say avoid.

I messaged the four pears after seeing their Instagram post about their Sunday roasts which looked insane so instantly was craving one. The lovely Clare managed to fit me in last minute that day even though they had no availability on the website. I had the roast beef and the whole meal was 10/10, the portions are massive so you won’t go home hungry. I had a side of cauliflower cheese as that’s just a staple with a roast! Again the cauliflower cheese was amazing, easily the nicest I’ve had dining out. I love this place as the atmosphere is relaxed and chilled and the setting is perfect for a dinner with friends/family. Can’t wait to try the new items on the menu 🤍

Was apprehensive when the place didn’t look busy. Thankfully, was surprisingly delighted. Waitress was very friendly and patient. Food was good, seems to be steak and fish is the go-to. Will come back when in the area again as not local to me. One down side, parking isn’t the easiest. I don’t fault that to the pub though.

Outstanding service from lovely and very attentive staff. The atmosphere was chilled on a rainy Saturday afternoon/evening. The menu isn't your standard pub grub—it's a culinary delight! Thoughtfully crafted dishes to suit everyone’s tastes. The four of us have eaten here twice, and the portion sizes are so generous that we had to get a doggie bag for the new potatoes. Our diverse family of meat eaters, pescatarians, and vegans were all blown away by our dishes. The menu is gorgeous, the service exceptional, and the value for money is up there. If you're craving Hunter's Chicken and a plate piled high, better head to a Hungry Horse And If you're not happy with your food or can't find anything nice to say about a group of hardworking young people trying to elevate and educate your palate, just tell them directly. Going online to criticize from behind a keyboard is a bit lame. Just be decent people, and consider the impact your words can have on someone's business. Positive vibes only ✌️

### Wonderful Dining Experience Under New Ownership I recently dined at this restaurant with a friend, and it was nothing short of wonderful. The recent change in ownership has clearly brought a breath of fresh air to the place. The food was amazing and truly lived up to the hype. Each dish was a delight, bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The new chef/owner has a real talent for creating great tasting food that exceeds expectations. I can't wait to see what new additions will appear on the menu in the future. If the current offerings are any indication, we're in for a treat. Highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience!

First visit since the recent takeover. No surprise to say that the food now matches the quality of the rest of the place. The scotch egg was exactly what you want from an English pub.

Stopped off for a quick bite and decided to get a few starters for lunch as the menu sounded good. Staff as friendly as ever and the food was incredible. The crab tacos were insanely good, the scotch egg was lovely and soft with a runny yolk and it was so nice to see padron peppers on a menu in England. I know the pub was recently taken over and still in a transition period, but it's already a great place to go for food and drinks. The outside garden was perfect on a warm summer's day

Not as good as Ember. We love Ember and when we heard the team over there had taken over the Four Pears we were excited to try it out but were left disappointed. The prices are basically the same as Ember but portion sizes are far smaller and it doesn't feel like good value for money. The food also isn't as good. Some of our dishes were undercooked including hard vegetables and the sticky toffee pudding was also disappointing and we could tell it had just been microwaved. I'm sure if you were visiting for the first time and hadn't been to Ember before you'd have a nice meal but unfortunately we could only compare to our many times visiting Ember and it didn't live up to expectations. Overall, it felt the team at Ember puts more time and effort into the dishes so still some way to go to offer the same experience.

The highlight of my meal was the battered fish, which was cooked to perfection with a crispy exterior while still being tender and flaky inside. The fries accompanying the fish were well-seasoned, adding a nice touch of flavor to each bite. The service at the pub was commendable as well; the staff was attentive and friendly, making the dining experience even more enjoyable.

We visited the four pears for lunch today, Saturday, and we're both struck by how beautiful the interior was in this fabulous 400 year old pub. We opted for the 3 course lunch, reasonable for £21 pounds per head. We both opted for the crispy chicken starter, and the sticky toffee pudding desserts but my wife had the burger whilst I had the chilli con carne served with rice. All courses were served by excellent staff members with a smile and we thoroughly enjoyed our 1 hour visit. The food was very nice with my chilli con carne not having too much spice, in fact just right. With a pint of lemonade and coke this totalled a very reasonable £49.20. The pub is dog friendly, we saw about 5 in there! Parking is available in the street directly outside. A lovely pub worthy of anyone's time. Visited 16th March 2024.

The staff can’t be blamed as they have clearly not been trained to give good service. They chatted amongst themselves instead of keeping an eye on what was happening with their customers. Drinks were offered too late and then only one drink (with our starters was offered). The courses were all HUGE - unnecessarily so and our white wine sauce on salmon tasted remarkably like gravy!! The dessert did not taste of the white chocolate it purported to be and might have been more appetising if garnisheed with something contrasting, rather than two insipid slices of pear and a similar-colour shortbread. Getting any attention and help from the young waiting staff was very difficult- they were usually chatting to the bar-person. Training and more training is all that’s needed to make this a decent pub/restayrant

Our server was first class, very knowledgeable, attentive and efficient. There were 5 of us and were a little disappointed with the menu, the burgers only had sweet buns (Brioche) not something we like with meat, the alternative was eithe a vegan roll or gluten free, neither of which I found acceptable. In the sandwiches there was a choice of breads, white or rye bloomer. I had fish and chips with peas, beautifully cooked and piping hot, a choice of peas would have been nice. My wife had the special, seafood pasta, which she enjoyed, one of our friends had the steak and ale pie with mash, which he found full of good meat and the mash was very good, his wife had the seabass, the other special which she said was very nice too, her sister had the pulled brisket sandwich in rye bread which she said was really nice. We had to ask for sauces and mayonnaise as they weren't offered The ice cream selection and sorbets was very good. All in all a very nice meal, although for us, a limited menu.

Had Sunday lunch it was lovely, great atmosphere only 2 MINOR complaints, too much gravy and the cauliflower cheese wasn’t great. Starters and puds were very tasty, earlier entry said the menu was limited but with a small kitchen I do not want to read a list of 30 choices, menu was fine for us.

Our second visit to this pub last night. We were a table of 5, it was the Friday night Billingsgate fish night which meant their usual menu is paired back. It's a dog friendly pub, in bar area and presumably in the outside area, which is very nice. The decor and atmosphere is lovely. The business is looking to hire a front of house manager, which is obviously needed as waiting staff were not being directed, they were standing around chatting and we had slow service. We gave up on ordering deserts as it was taking so long and just got the bill instead. The food was good, on a par with other types of gastro pubs, but prawn cocktail starter was disappointing, two lettuce leaves and prawns in sauce, it could have been so much better. Main meals were nice, nothing exceptional, whole sea bass only came with veg, had to order and pay for chips separately. Chips were excellent. Overall, a nice experience but not overwhelmed with the menu choices and value for money.

My food was amazing no faults however my husband ordered the burger and that was very dry waitresses were amazing it’s the management that need a refresher course in customer service I advised the manager that burger was dry this reply will make anyone laugh in 4 years “I’ve never had a complaint about the burger, the burger is cooked in grill then in oven on a timer” surely an experience chef would not need a timer management can’t take criticism at all was no apology nothing just us making us feel we were in the wrong for disputing a dry burger at a cost of £17 would not go back

Never been to this pub before even though I have passed it innumerable times. Advertised as a Greek night with a live band me and my better half were dreaming of those wonderful Greek holidays eating in marvellous tavernas some of our favourite Greek food. Then we saw the menu. Ohhh dear it was a bit thin on choice. OK if you were a vegy or vegan as at least a third of it was for you but I love a real lamb moussaka but only a veg one was on offer! Still I had the prawns for starter which were nice but came with dry bread. I ordered the lamb chops for mains which came with salad and rice. Well they looked really nice on the plate but when put in the mouth...... nothing no taste? I thought, have I lost my sense of taste so I tried the second chop...... no taste? I gave some to my partner and she said... no taste. Very strange but, and I tend to judge restaurants on them the chips I ordered as a side were....oven / Frozen chips. A pet hate of mine as it takes nothing for a real chef or cook to rustle up real chips. We didn't bother with a sweet as we thought the it was probably beyond the chefs capability to rustle up descent home made sweets and we had shop bought sweets at home. The fact is the £95 bill was the way over priced for our food. We had eaten the day before at a green king for £13 including drinks and the food was better than this place.

Lovely little pub in a beautiful old village, called in for a quick drink and nibble after visiting Castle Ashby. Grew to see another dog friendly pub around! Lovely decor and plenty of choice of food and drink, we will be back!

I’d been recommended this pub & decided to try it. My wife & I had a lovely meal here, really nice service & great food. Loved the small bites starters: pork belly bites, pop corn cauliflower and fried squid. Mains of cod & whole sea bass lovely. Draught Doom Bar gorgeous. Option for a lovely outdoor shaded area on a sunny day. Will visit again.

Four Pears is a village pub and restaurant. Always friendly and helpful staff. Had a meal in the restaurant the weekend of the Coronation. They were quite happy for me to have two starters instead of a main meal. Food was excellent. Everybody reiterated the same experience. Will definitely go again.

Visited for dinner last night and it was great, as usual. I’ve been here many times for lunch and dinner as live locally and it’s consistently good. Last night, I had the ribeye steak for the first time and it was perfectly cooked. Partner had the chicken burger and really enjoyed it. Service is always friendly and efficient. Great drinks menu and inclusive for non-drinkers. I’d highly recommend going to one of their monthly “fish nights” where they have some delicious fish specials on. All round a gem of a pub with great food!

Lovely hotel. Staff went above and beyond. Solo room small but functional. Bathroom lovely. Bar area is just great, and staff stayed late to make sure I could eat after getting stuck in traffic.

Excellent food and lovely atmosphere at a good price. If you are coming here to eat, you may wish to check what else is on that evening, such as open mic nights and so on.

Went for a late lunch after visiting Stowe Gardens war memorial installation. The service and food was excellent and at a reasonable price. Couldn't fault it.
