A charming village pub with a cosy atmosphere and plenty of wooden chairs and tables. The Wadworth ales are served from the oak casks behind the bar. Peaceful, friendly and relaxed with a large beer garden, food is served throughout the day from an extensive menu which changes regularly. The pub is not too far from Caen Hill Marina and there are many outdoor activities within the area. A lovely spot to while away a summer's afternoon.

While closed on most Mondays, the pub does open for Bank Holidays.

Asset of Community Value

17th century timber framed building with 19th century extension. Retains two original rooms with some inter-war fittings and a splendid high backed settle. The left hand door leads into a passage created by a floor to ceiling settle and through a small gap between the settle and the servery is the public bar - now given over to eating (as is the whole pub). The settle has four glazed panels at the top. The small room has an old bar counter but the bar back fitting was added in the late 1990s. Below it is a stillage full of Wadworth wooden casks dispensing 6X and Henrys IPA cooled by in-cask probes. The brick fireplace could be from the 1930s and there is a parquet floor mostly covered by carpet. The old fixed seating around the room dates back to at least inter war times. To the right is a small lounge with another possibly inter-war (or post war?) brick fireplace with service via hatch to the side of the servery. To the far right is a dining room brought into use with a couple of modern settles near a (modern) brick fireplace with log burner; new dado panelling. Retains its outside toilets (modernised).
