A pub since at least 1750, the Acorn is now in the hands of a family who previously ran an award-winning pub nearby. The entrance leads to an L-shaped bar and a comfortable seating area with a warming fire in colder weather. There is additional seating in a beamed area to the left where a DJ plays on Friday and Sunday. Pub games include Shove Ha'penny and darts. A small outside seating area is found at the entrance. Children are welcome until 6pm.
