The Whip Tavern

"We went here for our anniversary. It's in the middle of nowhere, but the bar and restaurant are really cool and give off an English pub, horse riding vibe. We got a cider and Old Speckled Hen. Both were tasty. We got the bubble and squeak for an appetizer. I got the beef wellington for dinner. I would mix it up next time. I think they made the dish well, but they certainly make their money off the specials. Then, for dessert, we got the creme brulee and carrot cake. Both were very tasty."

"We've made a habit to come here either before or after Longwood Gardens. The food is so good, the wait staff are super friendly, and the location is in the middle of farmlands. Wish we lived closer!"

"We ate at The Whip on Friday evening. One of the specials was seared scallops over tomato flavored couscous, roasted asparagus, and a tarragon beurre blanc sauce. It was the best meal I’ve had in a restaurant in 2023. Highly recommend!!"

"Went for a Sunday lunch for our first visit and had an enjoyable meal. We ordered scotch eggs, onion soup, the special of the day soup (chilled leek and potato), bacon Mac and cheese, shepherds pie, and sticky toffee pudding dessert. Overall, everything was very good but under seasoned. Every item just needed a little more salt/pepper/herbs and spices. My only other critique is that the interior needs a bit more decor and warmth. I understand they’re going for an English pub feel. The Dandelion in Philadelphia is a great example of staying true to a British pub style while having a little more warmth and atmosphere. If the food was seasoned better and there was more ambiance my review would be a full five stars. I would recommend making a reservation. EDIT: I am unfortunately editing my review to deduct a star, because we brought family here for brunch a couple weeks after this initial visit. Everyone was really excited to try Scotch eggs. We ordered one for everyone at the table and we were told they were “out of them”. We were the very first seating of the morning! How could you not have a signature menu item not prepared for Sunday brunch?"
