A good honest village boozer,close to the church,and tied to Marstons.It's stone built with interesting leaded windows and it retains a two room layout with a small lounge to the left with a serving counter and a larger tap room to the right,L shaped with a wood burner.The furniture is quite basic and a little worn including some sofas,but the interior was having a lick of paint,the low ceiling gives it character and the welcome was friendly.It's wet led ,so dont expect food and there are 6 handpumps on the bar with just 3 working on my Saturday lunchtime trip serving Banks's Amber,MILD (decent nick) and Marstons Saddle Tank (well kept). The music channel TV was a bit of a distraction,but overall a good pub for a pint or two.I managed it from Stretton Wharf on the Oxford Canal in a sharp quarter of an hour.

The Raven- Marstons
A friendly, unspoilt pub, old fashioned interiors, where cooked meals are available at a very reasonable price but we didn’t have time to sample. It was great to finally find a Marston’s pub, Real ale wise they had Pedigree and Bitter, alongside 2 Bank’s and Ringwood’s Filly Drift, something we had never tried before.
For those from the canal, it is a good 25 minute walk along a very busy road into Brinklow, from bridge 30, and you certainly work up a thirst before you get there! 22/09/09
