THE TOP 100 pubs across the UK have been revealed after experts were consulted by The Daily Mail.

To compile the list, some of the biggest names in the British food and drink industry were consulted, including Tom Parker-Bowles, Raymond Blanc, Michael Roux Jr and Prue Leith. 

Hundreds of online reviews were also scoured, as well as food and drink experts being asked.

The Cottage Loaf has received an impressive 4.5 stars from more than 5,000 reviews on Tripadvisor alone.

The Cottage Loaf offers a cosy and inviting atmosphere that many diners find homely, complete with charming period features. Many commend the hearty portion sizes and flavoursome dishes such as steak, roast dinners, and ale pie and fresh fish.

Comments include: “We ordered a lamb, two steak pies, a burger and two pork chops (soooo big).”

"Good variety of dishes on the menu and have to say that the steak and ale pie and accompanying vegetables were superb. Will most certainly be visiting again could not fault it."

“Got to be the best roast dinner I’ve had.”

"We visited here whilst on a weekend stay. This is a hidden gem. We had a three year old with us and they were very accommodating. I had the burger and triple cooked chip which were lovely, the bacon and chilli jam with the burger was amazing. My husband had the cod loin and again was delicious. The pudding was the icing on the cake. Very good size cheese board and the creme brulee was the tastiest dessert I can honestly say I've ever eaten."

It is no stranger to accolades, having been named the best pub in the UK in 2018.

In 2021, a survey found The Cottage Loaf the best place to enjoy a roast dinner in the UK.
