Question
Everything

Situated in the picturesque Berkshire village of Bray, The Hind's Head has been serving guests, and all manner of visitors, since the 1400s. First established as a hunting lodge then later a coaching inn, it has been a pioneering British pub since Heston Blumenthal bought it in 2004.

The Michelin starred menu reflects the venues colourful lineage as well as Heston's own fascination with Britain's gastronomic history. Our food is fuelled by our imagination and we are proud to serve classics like Heston's Triple Cooked chips, Quaking Pudding and our signature soft yolk Scotch egg.
