Business overview

Paul Clerehugh has run The Crooked Billet since 1989 and lives on his smallholding nearby, rearing beef and sheep and growing produce for the menu.

Quickly establishing a reputation, Time Out's 'Best Out of London' two consecutive years and entries in all the food guides.

The Crooked Billet retains the unspoilt rustic country charm that made it famous. A large and varied daily changing menu, specialising in local and British produce – buffalo milk and honey ice-cream (there’s a Buffalo farm next door and Paul keeps bees), beef, lamb, hogget and mutton from Paul’s farm, good seasonal British seafood and a legendary annual lobster festival. A blackboard on the front door encourages guests to swap their home grown delicacies for lunch

Paul Clerehugh is the second pub chef ever to win the highly coveted Craft Guild of Chefs award. Previous winners include Paul Gayler, Brian Turner, Anton Mosimann and Raymond Blanc.

Superb country pub!

This is quirky, charming and excellent old country pub. It's all low beams and tiny rooms with vintage photos on the walls, and well worth a drive out to Stoke Row for the high quality food.

The Crooked Billet also does one of the best Sunday Roasts I've had: top quality ingredients, perfectly-cooked roast beef and very attentive service.
