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.

Active Campaign

The locals are trying to buy the pub as a community pub. The Bird in Hand Society has been registered as a Community Benefit Society. They have launched a share scheme and had raised over £100k by July 2025 (out of a target of £550k). See the societies website and Facebook page for more details.
