See more about this pub on WhatPub, CAMRA's national pub guide.
Built around 1850 this multi-roomed pub is akin to the community centre of the village. It maintains a traditional layout that has served it well over those years. The large central horseshoe-shaped bar displays an impressive collection of old porcelain spirit vats that thankfully were saved from a serious fire in the pub in the 1990s. Food takes the form of quality, locally-sourced cheese and pate plates, plus pies. It can be particularly busy when live sport is screened on television, but you can escape this by using the right-hand room or going outside at the back or to some of the pavement benches at the front. NB. Tuesdays see an all-day discounted price on all cask beers, so the CAMRA discount does not apply that day.
