Craft beer-focused pub not far from the High Street. Serves five cask-conditioned beers alongside a range of craft beer on tap and traditional ciders. There is also a well-stocked fridge for cans and bottles. While seating in the main pub is limited, there is a large purpose-built outdoor seating area in their large garden that is available all year-round. Food is from an on-site pizza kitchen in the garden. Describes itself as very dog-friendly.
