Welcome
to our new Spring Menu.
It's a sad "au revoir" to Francis our head waiter who has
been with us for 4 years. He has accepted a management
position at Hamptworth Golf Club and we wish him every
success. Francis is replaced by another Frenchman, Mr
Benoit Cros who is returning to Europe after a 2 year
stint on the Australian Gold Coast.

About Berties
This historic building has
enjoyed a variety of uses over the years being home to a
women's workhouse in the early 17th century. Later it
became a posting house and then in the 18th century a
coaching house called "The Kings Head." In 1995 it was
renamed "Bertie's" after the P.G Woodhouse character
Bertie Wooster.
Our team of chefs have gained recognition from the AA
and Good Food Guide. Bertie's specialises in traditional
British fayre but our chefs have blended culinary
nostalgia with modern flair and created a very different
menu.
The menu may feature "Homemade fishcakes with a tomato
herb sauce" alongside "Brochettes of monkfish with a
lemon and chervil dressing" or perhaps "pork and herb
sausages on a bed of mustard mash" alongside "Roasted
rack of lamb with figs and a sauce of ginger".
It is not all full meals, we serve simple lunches and
snacks using the finest fresh local produce. In the
evening the restaurant is transformed with linen napkins
and candles. Parties are catered for with special menus
available on request.
We can also offer very comfortable guest rooms. these
are all en-suite with a television, as well as tea and
coffee making facility.
We hope that you will visit us soon and enjoy dinner
with us and perhaps even stay as well. Don't be alarmed
however if you hear creaking floorboards or whispers in
the corridor. Rather than ghosts of women from the
workshops it is more likely to be our staff returning
from a late night out!
