Taking its name from the implements used in a local battle between gipsies, the pub started life next door in what is now a cottage and was originally called the Lord Nelson. The current building dates from 1935 and the old Lord Nelson sign remains on display - but otherwise the pub has been significantly modernised and features contemporary decor. Sadly, the traditional public bar was removed as part of a refurbishment a few years ago, reinforcing the pub owners' determination to focus on diners over drinkers. Large garden.

Historic Interest

Current building dates from 1935. Previously the pub was located next door in what is now a cottage and was named the Lord Nelson.
