A 150-year-old hidden gem tucked away in a rural setting with a large garden and plenty of parking. It is a truly independent family-run pub restaurant. The open-plan interior has a light, contemporary feel with three different seating areas, one with a real fire, for both formal and informal dining as well as sitting and chatting over a drink. The small menu uses primarily local produce and is very well regarded.

Gentle background music and the absence of any gaming machines make the pub popular with locals, families, foodies, and dog-walkers seeking a relaxed atmosphere. Many people enjoy a beer here after a walk in nearby Alice Holt Forest. As no areas are set aside for drinkers, at busy times you may need to drink outside but there is a covered area, enclosed during the winter months, with three patio heaters. Customers can be provided with hot water bottles if required!

Historic Interest

A 150 year-old pub, that was formerly a bakery and supplied bread to the local Dockenfield village.
