Old House Inn, Burstow

Formerly the Old House Restaurant, this 16th century farm worker's cottage has been converted into a smart pub with restaurant and accommodation which opened on 6 September 2012. The small beamed bar, which is at the back of the building, leads to a large restaurant where very good quality food is served each lunchtime 12-3 and each evening 6-9 (6-9:30 Friday and Saturday and 6-8 Sunday). All food is home made except for the ice cream and the fries. The guest beers are usually local. A small corridor leads to a hidden second room for drinkers which has a wood burning stove at one end. Be careful as the beams are very low in some places. From this is another hidden room, almost a padded cell! Children are welcome in the pub at lunchtimes. Accommodation consists of six en-suite rooms. The pub was bought by the Butcomber Brewery in December 2022. The pub also opens for breakfast each day from 8-10am.
