Dating from the 16th century and run by the same family for over 20 years, this friendly pub is tucked away behind houses just past the church.
Two contrasting bars, one with bench seating where darts, dominoes and crib are played, the other for dining.
A wooden conservatory has been added leading to the garden; this offers a lovely area to sit at one of the picnic benches and enjoy food and drink in the tranquil backdrop of the village church. Home-cooked fare served Thursday and Friday. Beer festivals over the bank holiday weekends at Easter and August.
In current CME Recommended Pub Guide and Branch Pub of the Year 2022.
Historic Interest
16th century
This Grays pub appears to have been last altered internally about c.1970 (date from locals) with minor changes in the last 20 years. As you enter there is the remnants of the off sales with just a small counter remaining - note how the quarry tiled floor here is modern dating from c.1970. On the left the lounge is now only separated by timber uprights due to a change about 20 years ago - previously there was a wall here. A photo on the wall shows the room prior to the 1970s with an older counter and old dado panelling. The public bar was doubled in size in c.1970 - note the old quarry tiles run half way along then modern ones beyond - there was a separate dart room at the rear of this area up to c.1970. The bar counter front is of brick and timber - a style seen in pub refits in the mid 1960s e.g. The left room of the Queens Head, Newton. The bar back fitting looks modern - although an exact date is not known. Good old-style basic bench seating line the public bar walls.
