Without signage this would have been one of the most difficult pubs I've had to find, located down a narrow (now paved) lane, itself off a narrow residential lane off a road. Once located, we found that they were still operating a one-way system and table service, despite the lifting of the Covid lockdown. We managed to have a brief look at an L-shaped woody room with the bar to the left. Hop Back Summer Lightning, Hogs Back T.E.A., Dark Star Hophead, Bowman Swift One and something called "Bat & Ball Best" available, with a sixth pump unclipped (I didn't partake). It has a generous garden and patio area outaide which catches the sun's rays on a nice day. A friendly barlady/server told us that it has a multi-generational mix of regulars, who, as Moby mentions below, use this place in a 50/50 mix of wet and dry. I'd have to echo 'm colleague and concur that it's pleasant enough, but by no means a destination venue.

Not an easy pub to get to by road as you have to traverse numerous moon craters on an unmade road to get to the pub carpark. better to park up on Sandrock hill road above the pub and take the foot path down to it. when you get there you will find a traditional style country pub,Fairly spacious bar areas with pine style woodwork probably 50/50 food /beer orientated. Six handpumps dispensing real ale but on my visit seemed to be rather run of the mill fare, the likes of London Pride ,Tongham Tea and T.T.Landlord etc .Pleasant enough place but not a destination pub for me.
