What a difference a complete refurbishment & a new management team make. From having a dowdy unwelcoming décor and a not very good reputation it is now the exact opposite. When you walk inside you are met with a bright and airy interior and staff that greet you with a cheery smile. Leaning more towards a dining than a drinking experience they still have 3 to 6 real ales , and others from the Marston`s (range usually Marston's, Thwaites, Ringwood and Wychwood), all in good form. With two distinct areas there is plenty of room for both diners and drinkers. A varied choice of well cooked and reasonably priced food is on offer with themed food days and a carvery on Sunday. There is a children`s play area outside with other activities inside to keep them occupied. On Wednesday lunch time they host residents from local care homes with a two course dinner and provide entertainment for them. A vibrant community pub well worth a visit. All cask ales are £2.70 on a Monday
