Public bar in 18 bedroom Hotel and separate Restaurant.

Over 400 years old and once a coaching inn, there is a wonderful cobbled courtyard drinking area, complete with a cannon. The whole complex was renovated and refurbished at a cost of over £1.8m in autumn 2013 after being acquired by Oakman Inns. There are separate buildings for the bar & function room and the restaurant. The bar has been extended to include the barn which can be closed off for private functions. The bar features comfortable leather seating offering a range of wines and cocktails as well as the real ales. There are a total of seven hand pumps comprising 3 at the main bar, 2 in the function room and 2 in the restaurant serving ales from Marston's various brewing arms and others. Opens early for breakfast and food served all day including bar snacks.

Historic Interest

Grade II listed. Circa 1605 with C18 front. Cobbled courtyard is listed separately.
