This Pub is Closed Long Term

Dating from 1879 but radically changed and extended including a former use as a shop and Post office. Saved from closure in 2009 when pub became an integral part of the community, including sponsoring local charities and helping to resurrect the village fete. There was a major refurbishment to the pub in 2015. After a period of closure reopened in 2022. Traditional family pub. Campervans welcome overnight for donation nominated charity. Beer range may vary.
