Traditional brick and flint country pub, with breath-taking views over the Oxfordshire Downs.

Old brick and flint pub with three contiguous dining areas leading off to the right from the single bar, serving an extensive home-cooked food menu. Large, roaring inglenook fireplace in the winter. Beer is served by gravity, probably the only remaining Brakspear pub so to do. Large garden with great views. Very popular in fine weather with walkers and cyclists.

New tenants since May 2022.
