Terry Wogan’s daughter opens third pub in Buckinghamshire
Katherine Cripps, operator of The White Oak in Cookham and The Greene Oak in Windsor along with husband Henry, acquired the former Three Pigeons pub on Austenwood Road for her third venue.
The pub/restaurant serves a traditional British menu devised by executive group head chef Jack Woolner, using seasonal produce from local suppliers.
Dishes include Roasted Rump of Lamb with Creamed Spinach Gnocchi, Braised Scrag End and Mint Jus; Roasted Cornish Hake Fillet with Chorizo Potato Cake, Rocket Salad and Salsa Verde; and Confit Duck Leg with Ham Hock and Broad Bean Risotto and a Duck Jus.
Claire Beckwith, previously general manager at the Michelin-starred Crown at Whitebrook, has been appointed group senior manager to coincide with the expansion.
The Cripps first opened the Greene Oak in 2006 followed by the White Oak in November 2008.
