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.

Good beer, food & conversation are the mainstay of this traditional village local. With a huge back garden containing plenty to keep children occupied it is ideal for families in the summer months. Have a look at the amazing collection of copper & brass while trying the Adnams beers along with the occasional guest. Food is served either in the bar or restaurant. Look out for the whale's jawbone that you pass through as you enter the front door.
A long-time Adnams pub, this went free of tie in 2019.
The building dates from the 17th or 18th century.

In the June/July 1981 edition of Last Orders*** it was reported that Brian & Geraldine Sparkes were here (a previously Charrington house) now Adnams and recently refurbished. Now with occasional Country & Western evenings & various bar snacks. In the following edition it was also stated that they "had turned a dull fizz pub into a pub any CAMRA person would be glad to call their local."
