A traditional, cosy and intimate village pub. The tiled corridor leads to the small room containing the tiny corner bar with some fixed seating and multi-fuel burner to the right. The well-worn area to the left, perhaps once a separate room, that can hold a dozen people at most, has old photos of the village and many pig ornaments of various shapes and sizes. There is also a similarly sized but separate room to the right of the corridor. Under 15s are welcome until 7pm.
One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest
Listed status: Not listed
Tucked away in the upper part of the village, this small, drinks-only local (dubbed ‘Top House’) is excellent reward for the short climb. Good, old-fashioned character prevails strongly in its intimate front parts and, even in its altered back areas, the imprint of the original through-corridor layout is still very evident. The changes at the rear, probably in the early 1960s, removed some internal walls, brought the back-right room into pub use, and relocated the servery (note the stranded ‘hatch’, suggesting its earlier position).
Tucked away in the upper part of the village, this small, three-roomed, drinks-only local (dubbed 'Top House') is excellent reward for the short climb. On the right as you enter is a small room with bench seating and a good fireplace. The servery area has 'rooms' to each side. That on the left has an archway cut through the wall, old bench seating all round, a 50s/60s fireplace and a window installed by former owners, Pubmaster. The rest of the back area was reorganised, probably in the early 60s, removing some internal walls, bringing the right-hand part into pub use and relocating the servery (the stranded 'hatch' suggests its earlier position). The passage of time has, though, lent the whole interior a patina of age and a good, old-fashioned character prevails throughout, with the imprint of the original through-corridor layout still very evident.
This Pub serves no changing beers and 2 regular beers.
