200-year-old Inn perched on the Ale Water (yes really!). Parts have been upgraded but the front bar (beware the sliding door!), with real fire, remains virtually untouched since 1906 retaining pine panelling throughout. There is also a comfy drinking/dining area with additional snug at the front. Born Brewery owned, food features strongly with local produce that is sometimes foraged with their 'Plough to Platter' ethos matching the Brewery’s 'Plough to Pint' philosophy. The outdoor areas have been extended

NOTE: Pub is closed on Monday and Tuesday during winter

One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: C

Village pub built c.1850 of red sandstone and retaining much of its 1906 refurbishment by Jedburgh Brewery. The passage through the pub has 'Bar' etched panels on the inner doors and a hatch, which was originally for off-sales. The small public bar on the right with a sliding door retains its Edwardian interior fittings of back gantry, original counter (bar top is new) and tiled fireplace. The fixed seating is probably 40 years old. Beyond this is a small dado panelled room with an original fireplace and mirrored overmantel, but the bar counter and fixed seating are modern additions. The rear two rooms have been brought into use and the only item of interest is the overhead 'tram lines' used for moving heavy casks as this was the original cellar.
