ORIGINAL REVIEW Sept 2010.
A Fullers tied house with a couple of their ales featured on my trip,London Pride and the seasonal Red Fox which was very good.The interior is quite minimalist,yet traditional and the removal of the pool table has been a very positive move which has changed the atmosphere in the pub for the better.Some interesting pictures of the village over the years adorn the walls.The new regime have also introduced a good range of pub food ,including the excellent all day breakfast mentioned by the other posters.I would place the Lord Louis as the best pub in the village judging by ale quality and food value.Occasional live music maintains a community feel.
UPDATE
The front of the pub is now given over to a Thai restaurant.There seems to be a regular change of emphasis at this pub,possibly as a result of a fast turnover of tenants.

excellent staff, fantastic atmosphere, loving the music at the weekends!!! Quite a varied range in age groups, plus its also child friendly (till 8pm!!) No food service yet, but that is coming soon. What a find - a tiny village with 3 pubs, but this is by far the one that has the best atmosphere, and its also the cheapest!!! :)

This is definately the place to go! New management has meant that its been given a whole new lease of life, which (lets face it!) it so desperately needed! The drinks are the cheapest of the three pubs in the village, and the enetertainment at the weekends mean that it is more then ready to compete with the larger surrounding towns, bringing in a greater range of age groups.
