Used to a coaching house called the seven stars. Of course, it retains the pub fabric but is really a "pie and smokehouse", what ever one of those is.
Two cask on - both Brakspear - which never gets the juices flowing. On the hottest day of the year and me being the first punter of the day (although a walking group did come in) I stuck to Euro Keg - of which Kronenbourg 1664 was perfect for my 9 miles into a walk needs.
Delicious. Overrated, this cask stuff :-)

This is a detached yellow rendered multi-building pub/restaurant, it has hanging baskets, a patio and kid's play area.
The interior has three rooms. Entering through the car-park, you walk into the lounge, which is in cream patterned wallpaper, with red lower wall and a small tiled fireplace, with the bar in front of you. On the left there is the dining area, which i didnt see much of as i wasn't eating. A small door at the side of the serving bar takes you into the bar room, which is on two level. The higher level has a pool table and a dart board, as well as a TV, which was showing the England game. The lower bit is for seating. This room is in cream and red. General prints of Victorian painting adorn the walls. The service was fine, the clientele a couple of people in each room and the background music in the lounge was general stuff at a decent level.
Beer; tap stuff, with Black Sheep Bitter, Beartown Peach Melbear, Holden's Bitter and a decent Banks's MILD on handpull.
A nice place with pretty much everything you need in a pub/restaurant; several real ales, games, TV (if wanted), nice decor, patio and play area. Most definately worth a visit.

A good village local. Smallish bar area with a pool table & large restaurant type lounge. Frequently changing real ales available along with other regional and national brews. Good food. Large car park.
