Typical large '50s pub in a quiet village, complete with a garden next to the infant River Meon, and a veranda area to watch village life. Very convenient for South Downs Way users. It also serves good locally sourced food from an imaginative menu.

Asset of Community Value

A 1930s brick built pub where the original layout is clearly visible and a number of original fittings remain. As you enter there is in front of you what looks like a former off sales. A widish gap leads to the Public Bar i.e. wall removed - originally entry was via a door from the inner porch. This small room retains the original 1930s counter, the island bar back lower part looks original, top half possibly some old but a lot is new, and a brick fireplace (not original). Arch shaped doorway leads to far left room which has a bare wood floor, a (new?) bar counter in 1930s style, a brick fireplace (not original). A door with a figure '6' at the back is to cellar. On the right of the former off sales is a widish gap (again former door blocked-up) to the Lounge with fielded panelled walls to picture frame height, original 1930s counter and a 1930s brick fireplace with log fire. The toilet block dates from 2006 but the old outside gents is still there.

However, Wadworths are about to refurbish in 2015 knocking out walls and creating a U-shaped bar counter to all areas so not worth including. (MS 2014)
