opened 16th century
This characterful 16th century pub still offers traditional games and first class food. Aa microbrewery operates on site, using barley grown on the farm. Closed Mon-Wed but can be open for a special event or meetings - just ask!
A notice on the pub's website, which we noticed in February 2020, states that the pub has closed. This has since been confirmed by a site visit.
The pub can be seen on this old OS map from about 1902 (interactive map)
