This spacious and well laid out Marston’s pub provides good value food all day every day of the week. There are two real ales available, Marston’s Pedigree and usually Hobgoblin Ruby. On 'Cask Monday' the real ales are discounted.

There are also regular food offers like Curry night and live events such as music and karaoke as well as live TV sporting events making it a real hub for the community with something for everyone.

Misleading Dispense

This venue has been flagged by CAMRA volunteers as using a misleading dispense method to serve beer.

This is a 'Fresh Ale' - a keg beer served through a cask handpump. Find out more here Handpump Hijack.

If in doubt, we recommend that you Ask if it's Cask before making a purchase.

Historic Interest

Opened in May 2012 as the Bayberry. Updated and renamed the Wichel Inn in November 2021.
