This Pub is Closed Long Term

Sadly closed early in 2024, but there are rumours of local attempts to buy and reopen the pub A small, traditional village pub, with a small bar area and, up a couple of steps, a long narrow section festooned with vintage photographs, artwork and mirrors. A hidden room behind the bar contains a dartboard and pool table. The garden catches the sun beautifully at lunch times.

Stone built village pub where it is possible to see the changes to the interior thanks to some old photos on the public bar wall. A latch door leads into the public bar with an old/original counter, an old, but not original mirrored bar back fitting and four 'fake' casks from which real ales are sold (using an air compressor). The old photo shows a different bar back and real casks stillaged behind the bar. The room has three old benches and scrubbed top tables. Up two steps is the long narrow two-part (i.e. two rooms in the past) dining room which is served from a curious narrow 'bar', which I was told was a relic from the days the rear part of the pub was cow sheds!!?? The old photo of the smoke room indicates the rear left was the original second room with another room beyond it i.e. rear right (originally living quarters) and that there was an old stove in a corner. On the front right is another small room served from a flap across a doorway to the back of the servery. This room which has been brought into use has an old bench but it is difficult to date the dado panelling. Please note some customers have their own car park spaces!
