Gastropub, been around for years (before gastropubs were the in thing) in the middle of the Fens to the north east of Cambridge, that has won numerous awards for it's food. You have to book way in advance. I've been taken to it a couple of times in winter and it's totally in the middle of nowhere in so much as you drive down lane after unlit lane and finally along the top of a dyke, without so much as a house or signpost for what seems like miles.
