Best British Days Out (The Times, June 2007)

RIVERSIDE PUB @ The King's Head
Gliding watercraft, clinking glasses, tables under the aspens in the riverside meadow - the King's Head, at Wadenhoe, should be on the front of every Visit Britain brochure going. And the idyllic setting beside the River Nene is only half of it. Indoors, the felicitously named Dan Beer cooks up consummate English classics such as butcher's sausages and beer-battered haddock; there is even Oakham Ales' JHB on handpump.
