Brewery with tap room, plus lounge and outside seating.

Times may vary especially with season, check the pub's website or Facebook for latest. Operating out of Victorian farm outbuildings, the tap room only sells the wide range of unfined beer brewed on the premises. There is a separate lounge, where a new bar is to be installed as well as outdoor seating. A small theatre provides varied entertainment, see website or Facebook. The resident Chef provides a changing and varied, often themed menu. A Bakery and Coffee shop on site are planned. There is plenty of parking, and good facilities for those less able. Children are welcome. The nearest public transport is Hinton Admiral Station 30 minutes walk away, though as it's along the main A35 without pavements it can hardly be recommended.

Historic Interest

The brewery and bar are in buildings that are part of a Victorian farm. Some of the buildings are listed although not the brewery or bar
