This country style upmarket pub was brought to prominence and much success by the dedication of the late Alan Preston. Since that time, the pub has had its ups and downs but now, following an extensive refit, the pub is very much on the rise. The décor and furnishings give a clean, open, pleasant feel to the pub and although open plan it is still easy to feel secluded in one of the distinct areas. The entrance area has a couple of sofas and posing tables. The secluded lounge is to the far right, while the restaurant area is to the left in a raised portion. The food is recommended and while it can be eaten anywhere in the pub there is a restaurant area in the conservatory. On Tuesdays there is a popular pub quiz with a themed menu. The pub garden is one of the best in the area but you will need to watch any young children.
