England often gets a bad culinary rap, but this authentic out-of-the-way pub disproves that rep. The Welsh rarebit — English cheddar and Stilton cheeses swirled with Smithwick’s ale and served with toast points — is an obligatory starter. The shepherd’s pie is another savory standout, as is the sticky toffee pudding. 1383 N. Chatham Road, Coatesville, (610) 383-0600, thewhiptavern.com.
