Lively village pub with a comfortable bar area and a separate restaurant area with good value meals. It hosts several groups, including custom cars, cycling, and an investment group. There are also quiz nights on Tuesdays and regular open mic nights and charity race nights. Popular with walkers. Large car park. Beer festivals are held on Whitsun Saturday and August Bank Holiday Saturday. May close early if quiet. A wine and farm shop is now open.

Boasts an eclectic mix of former customers, including Will Hay, Diana Dors and Bob Marley. Research has not yet revealed whether they were all present at the same time!

Renamed and relaunched in 2024 with new local operators Silverhand Estate, a local Luddesdown vineyard.
