This unspoilt thatched local, with low ceilings and an open fire, was originally at the end of a terrace of Elizabethan cottages in this Dartmoor village. Entering it today is to experience an atmospheric step back in time. There is a leat running past the rear wall of the pub which helps cool the cake ales on stillage, as well as powering the waterwheel of the Finch Foundry Museum (NT) next door.

Historic Interest

Dates from 16th centaury. Reputedly haunted!

There was major changes in the 1950s when a bar counter - possibly from a pub in Plymouth - was installed for the first time. The stillage behind was also added in the 1950s - prior to that beer was fetched from the cellar. Until the 1970s the doors to the Main Bar on the right and Saloon on the left were off the inner porch - the left room one is still there behind the long case clock. These doors were blocked up and part of the walls taken out of both sides of the passageway to create the slightly opened-up layout we see today. There is a good old stone fireplace with a copper hood, log fire and old fireback. In the 1980s the cottage on the right of the pub was purchased and the third room created. The pub is run on very traditional lines with lunchtime food limited to pasties, sandwiches, soup etc. any cooking is done on an Aga Cooker - no microwave here!
