Improve This Listing

At the center of a picture postcard village we have a partially thatched ex-Rayments pub which dates from 1650 with recent extensions added in the 19th century. The Christou family have run this quintessential country pub for over 30 years. For restaurant bookings prior reservation may be essential as this pub is popular. Unusually besides a restaurant area, there is a public bar which now has a television and occasionally hosts live music events. Walkers and cyclists are frequent users and the Harcamlow way passes the pub.

Historic Interest

After a devastating fire in March 2022 this beautiful pub has now reopened and the attention to detail with the re-build has been second to none. Key aspects such as the pub’s historic chimney being removed and rebuilt brick by brick, and the discovery of the original brick flooring in the bar, old fireplaces and more beautiful oak beams.
