Delightful village pub with friendly staff, well worth the effort to seek out. Drinkers head for the Happy Chatters (Public Bar). This is a relatively unspoilt room with a large log burning fireplace, wooden flooring an assortment of seats, benches and settles. Award winning food is served in the cosy dining area. The garden is pleasant for a summer pint.
Historic Interest
Happy Chatter's 1950s Bar. The whole building is late 18th/early 19th century Grade II Listed. Historic England list entry 1305496
The Happy Chatter's Bar at the Cock & Bottle is little altered since a refitting in the 1950s. It has a door from the front of the building but is usually accessed from the modern lounge part of the building, where the door has a '2' on it. This remarkable surviving small room has a bare wood floor, a distinctive 1950s bar counter, more modern bar back shelving, and a large fireplace where 1950s brick has been added to an older stone one. Seating consists of bench and window seating attached to a panelled dado, a splendid high backed settle adjacent to the fireplace and two Publican's Rustic chunky wooden chairs on the opposite side of it. On the right hand side of the public bar there remains a small area being part of the former off-sales - the front door led to the off sales part of the counter and the door to the public bar was to the left of the entrance, where there is now a wall with a dart board on it and a screened off area.
On the right of the entrance is a separate small lounge with old dado panelling and a small counter front from the 1950s with what is no larger than a hatch above. The pub was massively extended to the left in c.1990 when a former cellar and garages were replaced by a brick extension to create the new lounge and dining areas. This has been done tastefully with some full height panelled walls and a couple of tiny annexes; the dado being formed from panels found in the roof of the garage. The toilets were also brought inside at this time.
