Previously known as the Pack Horse, bought by Blue Monkey in 2012. The pub received a top to-bottom renovation, uncovering lots of interesting original features. The stable bar at the back, reflects the pub’s past life as a coaching inn.

Nine cask ales are always available as is a continually changing range of real ciders along with (usually) a real perry, as well as Belgian bottled beers. Bar snacks include an interesting range of pork pies.

Winner of Traditional and overall Branch Pub of the Year in 2023, 2024 and 2025.
