opened 1830s
Refurbished freehouse that is situated in a village location with the car park on the opposite side of the road to the pub itself. Seating is in the main bar or on the patio (weather permitting) and there is a separate restaurant area to the rear. Four mainly local handpulled or gravity real ales are served along with four ciders.
Although we know the pub dates back at least to the 1830s, the current building has the date 1861 marked on it, so must have replaced an older one.
