You want to visit - You have this in

This cosy and friendly Arkell's pub offers a friendly welcome and great service. It is under the business tenancy of Helen Browning's Totally Organic who also run Eastbrook Farm. Their tasty food is based on organic food from the farm and other locally sourced produce. Open all day for tea/coffee and drinks, the food menu changes most days, so please check the website for details and meal times.

There is a raised deck area at the front and back, a perfect place to unwind in the beautiful Wilshire countryside. A 12 room hotel opened in 2017 using the old 'True Heart' building so the pub can now offer “Pigs, pies, and pillows”.
