Popular village local on the green. After a period of closure, the pub was re-opened in February 2025 by new owners. The spacious but cosy bar has a splendid log fire, and is dog-friendly. Drinkers are also welcome in the very comfy lounge, also featuring an open fire. Towards the rear of the building is a dedicated dining room. Disabled access is via the right-hand side door. Children's play area in the garden. The owners are also the landlords of The Nelson in Creswell Green.
