A village pub that is now more reliant on its restaurant status than that of a pub,however there is a drinking area to the rear of the pub with lots of oak beams and a vaulted ceiling,four beers on, Doom Bar Andwells Resolute and IPA plus Hogs Back TEA. Of possible note buried into one of the oak beams within the vaulted ceiling is a sword named Excalibur and is allegedly the one used in the film of the same name and owned by a pub regular. Not a bad place for a pint but not really a trad boozer and not a place I would normally frequent, but OK.

Whilst not looking particularly alluring from the outside, the recently refurbished interior really is quite super, with separate dining and drinking areas which feel rather swish. There were a couple of ales on, plus a real cider (or was it perry? I forget) which come in handled mugs - nice. My Andwell bitter was a bit flat unfortunately but the cider/perry my friend has was good. I'd give it another go and hope the beer's a bit better next time, the place seems to have a fair amount going for it at the moment.
