Polecat
I'm part of the New Heritage Collection family!
Bordering the Chilterns and nestled in the village of Prestwood, this stunning Grade II listed building originally came to life as a 17th century hunting lodge. Jump forward a couple of hundred years and the uniquely-named Polecat has enjoyed modern life as a popular local inn, with a reputation for food and hospitality that’s worth travelling for.
The Polecat is the very best example of a contemporary country pub. The traditional bar and cosy fire places join a glass-fronted restaurant accommodating an open theatre-style kitchen and wood-fired pizza oven.
The menu begins in the morning with breakfast and runs straight through the day and evening, featuring an imaginative and delicious range of gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan dishes together with daily specials. With an emphasis on Mediterranean-inspired, freshly-cooked food, our chefs can be seen plying their craft over charcoal ovens and grills in an open kitchen. Our freshly made offer includes hand-crafted authentic Italian pizzas, baked to perfection in our wood-fired pizza oven. Cosy up, relax and simply enjoy our broad range of cocktails, real ales, fine wines, gins and spirits as well as hot drinks.
Everyone is welcome at the Polecat, whatever the occasion; a pint with friends, a relaxed meal out or a special occasion.
The team look forward to seeing you soon!
