In the light of the government announcement of March 20th, all pubs are now closed until further notice.
However, a number of pubs are providing takeaway food and/or drinks during the lockdown. Some offer deliveries, while others are selling from the premises. This page lists details of those we know about.
If you can give any of our pubs some support through these terrible times by buying some takeaway food or drink, please do so. Our pubs need as much support of possible if they're going to still be there for us when the crisis is over.

grid reference TL 808 584
The Peartree is now a B&B. It's shown on OS maps as a beerhouse at least as late as 1952; by the 1978 sheet it's just shown as "Pear Trees", suggesting it probably closed between those dates.
It can be seen on this old OS map from about the end of the 19th century. larger map
