The hotel takes its namesake from the local legend of Sir Richard de Gilpin, who bravely fought and killed a particularly ferocious wild boar.
However, these days the Wild Boar Hotel is known more for its warm welcomes, roaring log fires and seasonal food and drink from its Grill & Smokehouse open kitchen.
The Wild Boar is proud to be a member of The Great Inns of Britain, a unique collection of 21 leading independent historic inns, all sharing a passion for traditional hospitality, excellent customer service and seasonal menus focused around fresh, local produce.
