The Alford Arms, five times winner of the Good Pub Guide’s County Dining Pub of the Year Award, has once again been rewarded this prestigious accolade for the sixth year.
Situated in Frithsden, near Berkhamsted, The Alford Arms was recognised by the leading national guide for its exquisite food offer, which has been quoted as saying that “winners of the Good Pub Guide’s County Dining Pub of the Year are exceptional“.
Boasting a seasonal menu, daily changing specials and a fantastic choice of European wines, the Alford Arms food offer balances originality along with more traditional fare, which, where possible, is sourced locally, supporting businesses and the community.
Commenting on the award, Becky Salisbury (co-owner with her husband David) said:
“We are delighted that the Alford Arms has once again earned the recognition it truly deserves. As our flagship venue, this accolade only goes to highlight the continuously high standards our team achieves.
“These standards are echoed across our entire estate and it is little wonder that the title of County Dining Pub of the year has been passed around our family of pubs for eight consecutive years. Both the Swan Inn at Denham and the Royal Oak in Marlow have been proud owners of the Buckinghamshire title, during the previous two years, respectively.”
The guide, which contains listings of more than 5,000 of the very best pubs in the UK is available to purchase from the 2nd October 2009.
The Salisbury Pub Group comprises four individual pubs with dining rooms: The Alford Arms in Frithsden near Berkhamsted; The Royal Oak in Bovingdon Green just outside Marlow; The Swan Inn in old Denham Village and last, but not least, The Old Queens Head in Penn between Beaconsfield and High Wycombe.
The Alford Arms has been crowned Catering Pub of the Year by The Publican Newspaper, was rated as the best Gastro Pub 2007 in its region at the Morning Advertiser Pub Awards and has taken the accolade as the Hertfordshire Dining Pub of the Year no less than six times.
