Pub reopened under its original name September 2020 after being closed for nearly 3½ years. Some of the details on this page may be out of date but beer range, hours and contact details are up to date.
Dating from the 18th century, standing prominently overlooking the road, two doors lead into a three room pub. To the left is 'The Gun Room' a small cosy lounge with two armchairs and a couple of small tables, a very small bar, and much memorabilia dedicated to hunting & fishing. To the right is a larger bar, once the 'public', with well worn parquet flooring, sturdy tables, an inglenook fireplace with wood burner and a darts board. Through the public bar is another room with a large dining table and flat access to the car park. The public bar has a small servery with four handpumps which is also accessed from the aforementioned lounge. At weekends, breakfast is available 10am-noon. The pub is normally closed Monday & Tuesday but can open for bookings for 8 or more. The pub has won the Good Pub Guide (not CAMRA!) Country Pub of the Year 2015.

Dating from the 18th Century, standing prominently overlooking the road, two front doors lead into a three room pub. To the left is the small bare boarded 'Gun Bar' with a quarter circle interwar bar with the front painted a deep blue grey, old dado panelling also painted a deep blue grey, reclaimed brick fireplace and modern shelves for a bar back. To the right is a larger bar, once the 'public', with well worn parquet flooring, a large brick and wood surround inglenook fireplace with a log fire; and some old dado panelling also painted a deep blue grey. As there is also a small reclaimed brick fireplace implying the room was two sometime in the past. The small bar counter is not particularly old and the bar back shelving is modern. Through an old plank door is a restaurant room at the rear.
