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 difficult 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.

Beamed 15th cent. pub close to a popular roadside golf course. The pub was renamed Saracens in early 2010. Villagers are entitled to play 8 holes which are on common land.
When visited in May 2019 it was undergoing renovation and appears to be getting the old name back.
Most of the building dates from the 18th century but some parts are earlier.
