I went to Aldbourne because it was featured in an episode of Doctor Who. I stopped by the pub for lunch, and the staff noticed my Doctor Who t-shirt. They pointed out the Doctor Who display in the corridor between the bar and restrooms. I ordered a light lunch and a drink, and both the staff and other customers were very friendly and polite.

What Miranda R doesn't like about The Blue Boar:
History has disappeared! Visited a few years ago as we loved Band of Brothers, and there was a wealth of history on Easy Company, letters, photographs etc, but this has now been reduced to one small wall. We ordered drinks (man behind bar seemed grumpy at having to pour them! and a plate of ‘artisanal flatbreads with hummus’ for the price of £7.50. When this was served I nearly fell off the pub bench as there were 5... View all feedback.
The restaurant offers an excellent selection of beers in great condition. The staff was helpful and the food was delicious. We tried the Sunday Roast, which was exceptionally tasty.
I went for lunch with three friends and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The menu was both extensive and interesting, offering a wide variety of options from bar snacks to full lunches. The burgers were especially delicious, and the special of Venison with sautéed sweet potato was a particularly satisfying and tasty choice. We couldn't find any faults with our food. The restaurant had a pleasant atmosphere and the staff were friendly and efficient.

We stopped off here on our way home to Wales from Gatwick Airport. Our main reason was to see the village; being Doctor Who fans we wanted to see one of the most celebrated locations in the show's history. Aldbourne became Devils End for the classic serial Daemons starring Jon Pertwee. However on the off chance, we asked if they could accommodate our party (10 people) which they could and so we sat down to one of the absolute best dining experiences I have ever had. The food was excellent, both in terms of the choices on the menu and the standard of cooking. They also serve a good range of fine ales (including Wadworths 6X a simply stunning beer). The staff were wonderful, so friendly and welcoming and you really felt as though nothing would be too much trouble for them. Add to that the fact that you're inside a wonderful period building, with a truly authentic country pub feel, located alongside a village green in beautiful surroundings, and you have the complete package for a great all round experience.
Probably the worst coffee and toasties ever. My wife and I tried lunch ordering 2 flat white coffees and two chicken and mozzarella toasties on brown bread. Firstly both coffees were that strong you could virtually stand a spoon up in them. Toasties were hard old stale bread with a small amount of chicken and shredded mozzarella cheese. Anybody who knows mozzarella knows it is wet and cannot be shredded, this cheese was tasteless and not mozzarella. The bread was old and dry, made worst by toasting. The whole lot cost £17, we will not be visiting this pub again.
