This former Brewers Fayre reopened in September 2026, managed by Queensway Inns. Initially with limited opening hours. The information below will be updated as the new operational model becomes clear.

The building is a converted, extended farmhouse comprising a single long bar, segregated comfortable seating areas, and a separate purpose built restaurant. The pub also offers a pool table away from the main pub and restaurant areas. Breakfast is served from 06.30 weekdays and 07.00 weekends and there is a variety of meal deals on different days. Draught beer choice is dispensed through two hand pumps, one of which is rotational. The outside large rear garden offers a patio and grass seating arrangement with parasol benches plus a small play area tucked in one corner.

Historic Interest

The pub was created from the original farmhouse of 'Southwood Farm'.
