Stone-built pub with a slate roof. Rescued from closure by community purchase, the old Grade II building houses a long narrow bar with high stools and - past the real fire - tables, chairs and settees at the far end.

A pleasant village, country pub that welcomes both locals and visitors from further afield

The bar has five hand pumps, offering the house ale as a regular (XT4) and a rotating selection of three guest beers, usually from eight local breweries, plus some 'national favourites; the fifth pump offers Saxby Cider.

The comfortable lounge is behind the bar, providing a quieter area that can also be used for eating from food vans.

Local independent food vans and pop-ups visit at least twice weekly - see Event list on website or Facebook page for details. in addition, their own kitchen is now open 1pm-5pm Saturday & Sunday with pies, burgers, sandwiches and ploughmans.

Large rear patio with ample seating and the garden area beyond has childrens play equipment.

Aside from a small, hard-to-enter car park, parking is on the street.

Information for this venue is provided by the Milton Keynes & N Bucks Branch of CAMRA
