Historic Interest
Historic England Grade II listed, entry number 1059430. Originally a house. Built mid-18th century, later extension to left (the barn style extension restaurant, built about 2000, to the right is not of special historical interest).
Has been identified by CAMRA as having a pub interior of special national historic interest - one star grading in the National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors.
One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest
Listed status: II
In times past there were two bars here on either side of the entrance: a public bar to the left and a private bar to the right with an off-sales in between facing the door. The off-sales is still evident with its still-working glazed hatch. In the public bar is a large fireplace with a bread oven on its left-hand side. The traditional, rustic core still has its simple ambiance but the pub has now expanded considerably beyond it. On the far left the former village shop has been pressed into service as has the old kitchen area behind the public bar. Both bar and ex-kitchen have red and black quarry-tiled flooring. On the far right is a large but not overly obtrusive extension dating from about 2000 and mainly used for food service.
This Pub serves 1 changing beer and 1 regular beer.
