Following a campaign by residents, this traditional village pub was saved from being converted into houses. Re-opened since mid-September 2020 this 17th century ironstone built pub stands proud above a patch of grass at the roadside. The rear entrance has wheelchair access to the pub. Inside has been opened out although there are still two separate areas for dining and drinking. The Coach House was converted in 2010 and now redecorated to a high standard offering six individual rooms which all are en-suite with complimentary toiletries and tea and coffee. The pub serves two changing local ales from a number of micros. The pub also serves local made cider and gin. Good food served including Tuesday nights pie (winter) or fish and chips (summer); Wednesday steak night. Happy Hour is Mon to Friday 5-6.
