A 150-year-old hidden gem tucked away in a rural setting with a large garden and plenty of parking. It is a truly independent family-run pub restaurant. The open-plan interior has a light, contemporary feel with three different seating areas, one with a real fire, for both formal and informal dining as well as sitting and chatting over a drink. The small menu uses primarily local produce and is very well regarded, leading to the winner of a very highly prized Estrella Damm top Gastropubs award in 2024.
Gentle background music and the absence of any gaming machines make the pub popular with locals, families, foodies, and dog-walkers seeking a relaxed atmosphere. Many people enjoy a beer here after a walk in nearby Alice Holt Forest. As no areas are set aside for drinkers, at busy times you may need to drink outside but there is a covered area, enclosed during the winter months, with three patio heaters.
