Hidden away in a peaceful setting, this rural community pub is popular with cyclists and walkers - now leased by Farr Brew, the local brewery. Up to four of their beers are usually available plus an occasional guest. The front bar features terracotta tiles and a fireplace, the rear bar features a 100ft well. There are two gardens - one child-friendly. Lunches are served daily along with evening meals - meals all day at weekends. The pub has a strong community focus showing TV sports, movies, and hosting charity events. There are English wines and locally distilled gins.
