A wonderfully quirky village pub, well described by Blackthorn, below. There is an outside bar next to the children’s play area over the road, Bendy’s Bar, and another bar counter in the main garden when the weather allows. There is a row of beach huts, all heated and furnished, in the garden, which were part of their Covid bubble measures, though these are now being sold off. Inside, the esoterica included two pianos converted to high benches with a table between them. Under-18s are not allowed in the bar, though they are tolerated in the garden. Dogs, however, are welcomed. Only two ales on, Butcombe Original and Rare Breed, both in perfect condition, and four boxed ciders were on the bar plus two on draft. Food is locally sourced and freshly cooked, and it’s reasonably priced. An excellent village pub to which I shall most certainly return, hopefully to a third (guest) ale.
