Former Devenish but now part of the Palmers family, food dominated pub dating back to the 16th century with oak beams, tiled floor and large inglenook fireplace. Lots of horse brasses and copper/brass pots are on display. Very food dominated.

NOTE The pub has only opened spasmodically lately and new licensees are expected soon. Due to settling in the information here may be inaccurate. Advise to phone ahead or consult Facebook if visiting
