This picturesque, thatched, two bar pub is worth seeking out. The dispense of beer is still by gravity, direct from casks. Bar billiards can be played and twister. Accompanied dogs and horse riders are welcome (there is a paddock for latter nearby). Bingo has replaced the Folk Night on alternate Wednesdays, the quiz nights are popular and still remain.

Traditional food, mostly home made including vegetarian options are available. But behave yourself, otherwise you may find yourself in the stocks that are situated in the garden.

The building dates from the 16th or 17th century.
