A Community Of Village Pubs : The Black Boy in Oving and The Dinton Hermit in Ford

17/07/2026

The Dinton Hermit offers something a little special for those looking to enjoy refined, creative food in a beautiful countryside setting.

Our Signature A La Carte menu combines fine‑dining with hearty pub food, giving guests the chance to explore dishes that are thoughtful, seasonal and full of character. Available Thursday to Saturday from 12:00, it’s the perfect choice when you want a meal that feels elevated without losing the warmth and charm of the pub.

Featured here are three standout dishes: the Mackerel & Orange Pâté, the Goat’s Cheese Croquettes, and the Pork Loin which is served with the most delicious apple and blue cheese tart and Dauphinoise potatoes.

If you’re looking for something a little different, our Signature menu is well worth discovering.

At both our venues, we try everything to be as sustainable as possible whilst providing our customers with quality. For example, we grow a range of fruits, vegetables and herbs on-site, giving our chefs access to fresh ingredients they can use across the menu wherever possible.

It’s all part of our Moogies Being Mindful commitment to sustainability, helping us
bring the freshest flavours from plant to plate.

From vibrant herbs to seasonal vegetables, the garden plays a small but meaningful role in the dishes we create, adding character, freshness and a sense of place to the food we serve.

Our Laundry Has Room For More!

When we refurbished the bedrooms at The Dinton Hermit, we made a conscious choice to convert one bedroom into our very own in-house laundry.

This lets us:
🌱 Use gentle, eco-friendly products
🌱 Cut transport miles – no vans collecting or delivering linens
🌱 Care for our bedlinen properly, extending its life
🌱 Stay true to our Being Mindful commitment to sustainability

We also switched from paper to linen napkins at both The Dinton Hermit and our sister pub, The Black Boy, to reduce paper waste.

💧 And here’s the exciting part — we have spare capacity and are keen to offer our laundry service to other local, small businesses who share our values.

One of our happy partners recently said:

“Debs and her team at the Dinton Hermit provide a great support to our business. Their friendly manner, great communication and attention to detail ensures we have beautifully pressed, clean linen delivered on time, every week.”

If you’re a local business looking for reliable, sustainable laundry support – we’d love to help. 💚 [email protected]

As part of our Being Mindful sustainability pledge, we carefully consider the companies we work with. We look for suppliers who share our commitment to quality, sustainability and doing things the right way. That’s why we’re proud to serve Thatchers across both The Black Boy and The Dinton Hermit.

We recently visited their home in Somerset, and it’s easy to see why their cider stands out. Still family-run, Thatchers has built its reputation on craft, care and respect for the land.

Their 580-acre orchard is managed by expert apple growers, with quality at the heart of everything they do. While many ciders contain just enough apple juice to meet legal requirements (35%), Thatchers uses over 90% apple content in its cider. You can taste the difference.

It’s exactly the kind of quality we want to offer our guests. Every pint of Thatchers served at The Dinton Hermit and The Black Boy has been chosen with intention — crafted with integrity and respect for the environment.

So when you raise a glass of cider this summer, know that we’ve chosen one of the very best.

Start your weekend with chill music, picturesque scenery, refreshing drinks and delicious food!

Join us tonight for Chill Out Friday from 6pm at The Black Boy and The Dinton Hermit.

🍻 PUBS NEED YOUR SUPPORT 🍻

The hospitality industry is facing some of the toughest trading conditions it has seen in years.

While customers see the warm welcome, great food, and friendly atmosphere, behind the scenes pubs are dealing with rising costs at every turn. Energy, suppliers, wages, business rates, and everyday operating expenses continue to increase, making it harder for independent venues to thrive.

Pubs have always been at the heart of their communities. They’re where people celebrate milestones, catch up with friends, support local causes, and create lasting memories. Losing these spaces would mean losing far more than just a place to eat or drink.

That’s why we’re backing the campaign, which is calling for a reduced VAT rate for hospitality businesses across the UK.

A fairer VAT rate would help protect jobs, support local economies, and give pubs and restaurants the opportunity to invest back into the communities they serve.

We’re proud to join hospitality businesses nationwide in speaking up for the future of our industry and the people who depend on it.

Find out more about the campaign, led by Tom Kerridge, and add your support at:

Together, we can help ensure pubs remain at the centre of community life for years to come. ❤️
