Parts of this old coaching inn apparently date back to the 13th century however this is not apparent from the immediate exterior. Instead it looks like a typical Victorian detached farm house. The first thing that attracts the attention inside is however a magnificent inglenook fireplace that dominates the small carpeted front bar. To the other side of the bar and not really in keeping with the pubs ambience is a pool area and this seems to take up a lot of room for such a small pub. Given the lack of space, it can get busy very easily and can also be a bit smokey. The beer selection is OK without being specifically adventurous – Green King IPA / Speckled Hen / Pride / Adnams. The rear of the pub contains the much larger restaurant with its wattle & daub walls, old timbers, low beams and central dividing screen. The usual pots, pans, jugs and brasses are complimented by a large milk urn and some interesting aerial photos. The food and service was fine but the pub is definitely geared more towards the diners than the drinkers. Accomodation is available in the adjoining refurbished coach house.
