  • Outstanding pub conversion

Situated in a former farm building with a conservatory, the pub is decked out with breweriana. It is home to Steamin' Billy beers named after the owner's now departed Jack Russell who features on the logo and pump clips. Four handpumps are situated in the small rear bar. Waiter service is available (but optional) in most parts of the pub. Pizzas served Mondays and Tuesdays. Opens early for breakfasts on Saturday mornings. In 2022, a distillery and a large farm shop opened in an adjacent building. There is a large car park and several seating areas outside. Note: card payments only.
