Built as a hunting lodge but used as a pub for the workers on the Melchboune estate. The L-shaped bar opens into a conservatory and large garden. A second room is used for dining and for skittles and darts. There are camping facilities in the field. Beers are on three handpumps. The pub has restarted doing food; there's an annual summer beer festival. No website yet but the Facebook page is active and with details of food service.
