Upmarket local, opposite the church, in suburban village on edge of the green belt. The original village pub has been extended uphill to provide a substantial restaurant area.

There is a small, covered smoking area at the rear plus a larger outdoor drinking area at the front. It is a Greene King pub and two of the four beers are likely to be from that brewery. Note that the Lilley's cider is not recognised by CAMRA as traditional.
