This popular two-roomed village pub which was formally part of the Hophouse Inns group has recently reverted back to a freehouse under management. Until recently, this was a long standing entry in the Good Beer Guide and it has had a smart makeover. Conversation is king here and there is always a good eclectic mix of locals to chat to. The beer festival held annually which took place on the August bank holiday weekend appears to have been discontinued. Changed hands in late 2025.
