This grade II listed pub serves one regular cask beer and a frequently changing guest. Excellent food menu with a leaning towards Polish cuisine and a large restaurant area, away from the long bar with its wood-burning stove, caters for those looking for hearty meals. There is a separate function room and a choice of outside garden seating, either overlooking the historic Butts Green where an annual Victorian Cricket contest has players in period garb, or a more private garden at the rear. Check the website for occasional music and comedy nights. Opening times may vary in the summer months.
