This is a beautiful old roadside pub where eaters and drinkers are equally welcome.

There has been some form of drinking establishment here since the mid 1500s but the pub now has more of a 1900s feel. There is a lovely wooden floor, and lots of wooden pew-style seating a well as more usual tables and chairs. You can enjoy an open fire at one end of the pub, or a wood burning stove at the other. Fairy lights abound inside the main area, wound around the wooden beams giving the pub a cosy feel. Boating memorabilia adorns many walls.

The pub has a wood burning oven which cooks the pubs wonderfully popular pizzas. In the summer you can enjoy the garden with "fire pit" style heating.
