Eighteenth century Grade II listed building, a pub from 1896. Superb country pub with five small rooms; one dog friendly, now back to its best. Excellent food, ingredients purchased from local suppliers. New owners have extended car park (60 cars) there is a mini goat area, children's "secret garden" complemented by picnic site and extra seating. The new owners have been here for a year and take great pride in quality of their real ale. Normally there will be a blonde, pale, and dark beers.
One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest
Listed status: II
This late 18th century building became a pub in 1896 and has five small rooms. Service from a substantial servery is via a hatch/doorway and two very small bars with modern tops, both not much larger than hatches. The lobby on the car park side has a similar serving arrangement. The public areas have expanded considerably but the two old pub rooms (on the right) are still clearly in evidence - a welcome example of a country pub not being spoiled in the late 20th century craze to create wide open spaces. Not many traditional furnishings or fittings survive - a settle in the left room, and two brick fireplaces which are probably inter-war.

A left-hand extension was added in the last century and consists of two small rooms.
