Old stone village pub with low ceilings, beams, a fireplace at each end of an attractive long bar, and a games room housing a TV. There is an adjoining skittle alley. Excellent quality ales and good-value snacks makes a visit to this friendly pub well worthwhile. At the heart of most village activities this really is a true community pub.
