Apple Tree, Onibury

Accredited for beer quality 2022.

On approaching the Apple Tree the first time visitor could be forgiven for being confused. It doesn’t look like a pub, which is not surprising since in previous times it has been a village shop, Post Office and butchery (in fact some of the meat hooks still hang in the bar with hops on them) and having crossed the threshold, that feeling may still persist. Whilst it’s clear that it is no longer a shop, one becomes aware that this is an unusual place, and all the better for it. It's difficult to describe, but in essence it is a place where beer and conversation predominate. The three rooms, each with its own purpose and character, make this is a pleasant place to loiter. The bar has cottage style furniture, hanging hops, and a wood-burner. Perhaps the lounge could be better described as an old fashioned parlour, with its period sofas and a standard lamp. The third room is probably best regarded as a games room. The flooring throughout is either quarry tiles or a mixture of bare or formerly painted boards, and the whole scene is set off by plenty of paintings on the walls. So, however the Apple Tree is titled, it is a pub, and one which is much appreciated by its band of loyal locals. Although normally open during the evening only on Mondays, the pub is open from 12 noon on Bank Holidays.

Historic Interest

An old map of 1887 shows a previous Public House occupying the site called the Griffin.
