Unspoilt 18th-century inn in a remote rural setting at the foot of an old ox drove. This friendly pub has been run by the same family for 53 years and by the present landlord for 37 years. There are two small bars displaying an impressive collection of old farm implements, tools and lamps, plus a restaurant, conservatory and pleasant garden. Good local food is available Wednesday to Sunday and beers are poured direct from casks behind the bar. The original serving hatch just inside the front door is still in use. Real cider is usually available, often Orchard Pig Reveller or Wessex. CAMRA branch Country Pub of the Year 2019.- 2022.

Two star - A pub interior of very special national historic interest

Listed status: Not listed

Brick-built 18th-century village pub with three small rooms. The front door takes you into a small cross-passageway with a screened servery beyond. A door in the servery for staff would have doubled up as an off-sales and there are (formerly sliding) windows displaying sweets for sale. Within the servery is an old stillage with a row of beer casks; above are old shelves, with another over the front partition wall of the servery. A small room on the left has some dado panelling with bench seating attached and a hatch with rising panels in the open position (on the servery side it looks like a display case). Right of the passage through an old door is the main room with a lapped- wood 1950s counter, a large brick 1950s fireplace, dado panelling and farm tools and implements on the walls and fireplace. A further small room on the far right, formerly a private sitting room, was brought into use in the 1980s, but note the outline of the former bread oven in the brickwork passageway, dating from when the premises was a bakery many years ago. Further right still is a small conservatory extension. The pub retains its outside gents’ (modernised) on the far right side of the pub.

General information about historic pub interiors

Brick built village pub with three small rooms. The front door leads into a small passageway running across you with a screened servery beyond. There is a door with a ledge in the servery for staff which would have doubled up as an off sales and there are (sliding in the past) windows on the left displaying sweets for sale. Within the servery is an old stillage with a row of casks of real ales and above are old shelves, with more above the front partition wall of the servery. A small room on the left has a doorway, some old dado panelling with bench seating attached. Dado on the servery side looks modern. There is a hatch with rising panels in open position but on the servery side it looks like a display case.

Right of the passage through an old latch door is the main room with a lapped wood counter and Formica top which dates from the 1950s and replaced a hatch, a large old fireplace with a 1950s brick interior, old dado panelling and lots of tools and implements on the walls and fireplace. The passageway leading to a further small room on the far right has the outline of a former bread oven in the brickwork (dating from when the premises acted as a bakery many year ago), formerly a private sitting room, has been brought into use in the 80s, and has some modern dado panelling and there is a small conservatory extension on the front far right. The pub still retains its outside gents (modernised) on the far end of the building. Closed Sunday evenings; closed Mondays in winter.
