Located just off a bend in the road in the centre of the village, this is a GK pub which was doing a roaring Sunday lunchtime trade on my stop-off. There were considerably less imbibing, and with just the option of GK IPA (two other handles were unclipped), I could see why. There's seating in both of the large bay-type windows, with a chamfered L-shaped bar opposite and to the left and a dining room to the right, partially hidden by a glass screen. The seating area to the right was a riot of dark reds and purples with a couple of sofas and garish wallpaper and a fireplace up against the right-hand wall. Maybe I caught it at a bad time, but the uninspiring ale selection and décor put me off a little and I can't see myself returning any time soon.
