Robinsons tied house that is actually much older than it would appear externally. I think its the conservatory add on which gives it a more modern look. Inside, the main beam is dated 1631, with the builders initials.
Multi-roomer, with sunken dart board area, main bar and the dining room in the aforementioned conservatory.
Ancient fireplace - dated from William the III time. Ask to look in the cupboard door on the right hand side for a surprise! Not many pubs have a human skull (with Xmas hat!). Apparently donated as a leaving present to a 1930s worker at the local munitions factory.
What could he do with it? Take it to his local, of course.

The General Burgoyne is a lovely old village pub,there is a small seating area at the front of the pub which was very nice on a warm day.
Once inside the pub was quite small with a small bar area,the room had a country pub feel to it.
When we went in this pub it was a Hartleys tied house and there were two real ales on the bar we had a drink of Hartleys XB and this was a very nice drink the other beer was Hartleys mild.
This was a realy nice pub to have a few pints in.
