Records for this largely timber-framed building go back to 1535, but some roof trusses are thought to be Saxon. It could originally have been an inn (note the swan with two necks above the front door) and may have been a resting place on a drovers' route from Wales to London. It became in turn a forge, a petrol filling station, and a restaurant before becoming a pub again. A small bar serves two carpeted areas - one with comfortable armchairs and TV for sport, the other for eating. Home-cooked food is available lunchtimes and evenings and all day at weekends. There is an outdoor patio with heated cover for smokers, A dartboard has been restored, and weekly pub lotteries are an innovation.

Historic Interest

Grade II Listed. Historic England List UID: 1303091. Parts of the building date from the 17th century and some may date from the 15th century. The pub was known as The Swan Inn until 1779. [From heritage listing]
