A pleasant 18th-century pub in a picturesque village offering a varied food menu including vegetarian and children's choices. A comfortable locals' bar is complemented by a lounge/restaurant overlooking the Browney Valley. Delft racks display porcelain artefacts, some of which portray the old village. The village is commonly known as Old Esh to distinguish it from nearby Esh Winning. A good selection of beers always includes some from local breweries.
