    Very disappointing. Both my partner and I had a roast. I had the chicken and the only thing on the plate that was nice was the Yorkshire pudding. The roast potatoes were clearly the frozen variety and they were literally inedible. I got hardly any chicken and what I did get was really dry. This pub used to do amazing food so I was gutted with this experience especially as dining out with 2 young children is a rare occurrence and it was for my partner's birthday

    We found The Squirrel by chance after visiting Hughenden. A real gem and deservedly popular. Made to feel genuinely welcome. Attentive service. We only wanted a snack but these were freshly made, substantial portions and extremely tasty. Would definitely recommend and will go again if we're in the area. Just wished we had a dog with us as it is outstandingly 'dog friendly'
