After several months of closure, this attractive, comfortable free-house re-opened in January 2016 under new ownership and after some refurbishment.

The main open plan bar area features beamed ceilings and wood pillars, with a 24-foot diameter 19th-century overshot water-wheel visible at one end. A smart restaurant, with exposed roof trusses, is upstairs and normally set out for around 40 guests, but can cater for up to 56.

Meals are mainly English, although there is a dedicated pizza kitchen with pizza oven; separate menus for lunch, evening, and Sunday lunch (see website).

Historic Interest

Originally the site of a corn mill, followed by a furnace in the 17th-century. Rebuilt as a water-powered screw mill in the late 18th-century, it later became a corn mill again, then a saw mill and a maltings. The building was eventually abandoned around 1945. Radical reconstruction saw the conversion into a pub in 1987, but retaining the 19th-century iron water wheel, with further sensitive and extensive restoration work in 1999.
