The pub is shown on this old OS map from about 1903 (interactive map)
A characterful pub, in a remote location near the windmill. Well worth seeking out for food. Dog, family and "wellie" friendly, popular with walkers and cyclists. Two bar areas and restaurant. Monthly changing menu, featuring old favourites and some unusual dishes, using locally sourced ingredients. Wine stocked from Thelnetham vineyard. Ciders from local cider makers.
In February 2019 we heard that there is now no beer on tap being sold here at all, with only bottled beers available.
In November 2019 it was reported that the pub had closed permanently. However, word reached us late in 2021 that it's shortly going to reopen by xmas as a community pub.
