Long-time Good Beer Guide regular and winner of many CAMRA awards, a classic unchanged old pub. It is tucked away down a small lane yet close to the village centre. Several small rooms with stone-flagged floors are warmed by two log fires, and offer an assortment of seating. Excellent food is provided at lunchtimes only using local ingredients. Five or six ales from local and regional breweries are served on gravity. Outside drinking areas to the front and rear. Families welcome away from the bar itself. Live music is Sea Shanties on an occasional basis.

This former cottage that was also a butchers shop is a wonderful dimly lit multi roomed pub run on very traditional lines with no TV, no music, no pool, no machines, only lunchtime food, and beer served from casks in the cellar. The original three small rooms were joined by two more in c.1984 and this is the date of the present bar fittings. The original main bar was the rear left room which you accessed from the disused inner door in front of the main counter, but the bar counter was replaced in c.1984. and the bar back fitting may be of similar date. It does have a genuinely old fireplace.

The other original rooms were the two on the front left. The first has an old flagstone floor, an old settle, piano, basic wall seating and a back to back fireplace with a gap either side. The far small room has a wooden floor. The two rooms on the front right were part of the living quarters until c.1984. The first has a new flagstone floor, an old stone fireplace, old settle but a c.1985 counter. The far small room has a new flagstone floor, an old settle and a food service hatch. Outside gents' and ladies' at rear.
