A charming pub set in the heart of the village next to the church, within the Peak District National Park and close to the Manifold trail. The pub has plenty of olde worlde charm. There is a single bar, a separate restaurant, and a good-sized car park. The old range is very warming on a cold winters day, and the landlady sources her guest beers from several micro-breweries. The beers are diverse for a country pub and something unusual for the area can usually be found.

AWARDS:

Staffordshire Moorlands Sub Branch Pub of the Season (Summer 2013).

Staffordshire Moorlands Sub Branch Village Pub of the year 2023 (Highly Commended).
