This pub, a former bank, was refurbished by Livelyhood and reopened as the Mere Scribbler in April 2017.

The pub takes its name from the nickname of local 18th century satirical novelist, diarist and playwright Frances Burney.

A good selection of keg and bottled beers, wines and cocktails are available.

The food is very popular, from bar snacks to a full Sunday roast.

Several TVs show sport, including SKY and TNT Sports channels.
