Two regular Badger cask ales accompanied by keg choices of three flavoured Thatcher’s ciders, Outland stout, Guinness, Amstel, Outland West Coast IPA, and the venue branded Helles lager, Moretti and Thatcher’s regular cider.

Pleasant roadside pub with a large car park at the back with some nice outside seating on traditional picnic benches on a well-manicured lawn. There is also a decked area out the back with a few tables but no one outside on my early evening autumn visit. Some nice armchairs and tables in the area before you reach the L shaped bar counter in the middle of the pub. Some tall stools around the bar counter with some barrel type tables and tall stools to provide some seating variety in this part of the pub. The dining area is beyond the bar area and has a (non-lit on my visit) log burner. The tables in this area all laid for dining suggesting this is a bit of a dining pub - where it is, it is hard to see you would pop in here for just a drink (apart from pub tickers like me) as it isn’t walkable from anywhere.
