Moved to its present site before 1870, allegedly to remove temptation from the adjacent Chapel-goers at its original location in old Peppard Road. In Victorian times the pub yard doubled as the local fire station. Nowadays, this well-kept traditional two-bar local has pool and sports TV in its public bar, while the quieter lounge bar to the left has a real fire. You can sit outside the front, or in the enclosed rear patio. Quiet pub: quiet in lounge bar only (the one on the left as you go in). The pub has been run by the same licensee for many years, ensuring a timeless continuity.
