Website

Large village pub and restaurant, dating back to the 18th-century but substantially altered over the intervening years.

Internally, the bar and lounge are linked around a central serving counter, with an additional restaurant area off the lounge, plus a conservatory to the rear and a function room upstairs.

Seasonal and children's menus, see website for details and reservations.

Historic Interest

Once simply called the Bell Inn, the oldest parts of the pub at the front date back to the late 1700s and are Grade II listed (since 1984).
