Community Owned
A 17th-century, stone-built free house almost hidden up a side road in the lower half of Cranham village. A log fire dominates the main bar. Extensive woods nearby make this an ideal stopping point for walkers.
As at November 2021, a community group planned to register a community benefit society, register the pub as an asset of community value, and launch a community share scheme to purchase the pub.It was feared the historic venue, which first opened in the 17th Century, would have to shut permanently after its last owner left.
But following a huge community effort, more than £260,000 was raised to secure its future.The pub has more than 260 shareholders who helped raise the £260,000. The group also secured a £250,000 grant from the government's Community Ownership Fund.
On the 4th May 2024, the pub re-opened to customers following a 10 month refurbishment.
