This Pub is Closed Long Term

The pub dates from 1772. The Luddites met upstairs here in 1812 to plan the attack on Rawfolds Mill. There is a tidy and cosy U-shaped lounge with stained glass windows and comforting log fires. Rescued from pubco abandonment in 2010, this well-loved historic pub features log fires and stained-glass windows. Fine views from the garden which provides ample seating. Popular taproom provides TV, pool and traditional pub games. Saturday evening karaoke and live music.
