Possibly dating from the 16th century, though Historic England think otherwise, the pub is comfortably furnished in what might be described as contemporary rustic style. On entering, from the 'front' of the pub, to the left is a lounge area with a large open fire and beyond that a restaurant area; straight on is the main bar, further seating and access to the garden. Much of the food is locally-sourced, and in addition to the daily food hours, a snacks & light bites menu is served daily from midday to 9:30pm. Nearby attractions include Mottisfont Abbey (National Trust). The main car park is to the back of the park accessed off the main road. May close earlier mid-week depending on trade.

Historic Interest

Late 18th century Grade II listed. Historic England list entry 1167758.
