Handsome old village pub, in the middle of a pretty village. There is a lovely garden out at the back. Now a Free House after being a Wadworth pub for many years, there are usually up to three changing ales on at any time, mostly from the west country. There are also some 'Craft' beers on tap.
There is a local legend that this was the first pub in England where tobacco was smoked, as Sir Walter Raleigh was a friend of the owner of the local Manor House and he stayed there often.
Included in 2025 edition of Good Food Guide "100 Best Pubs" and 2026 Michelin Guide.
Note that Otter Amber Fresh may appear to be a cask beer on handpull but it is not - the pub uses a misleading dispense method for this keg beer!
This venue has been flagged by CAMRA volunteers as using a misleading dispense method to serve beer.
This is a 'Fresh Ale' - a keg beer served through a cask handpump. Find out more here Handpump Hijack.
