This is your typical village local of yesteryear. Today's village local would have a car park covering half the churchyard, the internal walls all removed and a kitchen churning out "home cooked" food from Brakes. Being a Sam Smiths pub, of course, there's none of that. Unusually for a Sam's there are masses of flowers in hanging baskets on the whitewashed walls.
Once inside, the bar is in the far left of the three small rooms. There were two hand pumps, but aficionados of Sams will know that there was only one real ale on; the fact that it's available on both pumps tells you what the locals drink. And were they drinking it! There was only one seat left vacant when I arrived, and I got well told off for putting my small rucksack down on it, because it belonged to "that gentleman there" (said gentleman loudly protested - "never been called a gentleman before, etc"). Anyway, I took my half out into the yard, but not before checking the other two rooms, both equally as small as the first - not often you see three snugs in one pub!
This pub is listed by Camra on its regional inventory of historically important interiors. It doesn't make the national inventory because of a suspicion that the present layout is to some extent post-WWII (the present bar having previously been part of the landlord's private accommodation) and some of the fittings "are probably of no great age in themselves". Worth a visit, nonetheless.

A typical village local. Small servery at one end with 3 rooms for drinking. Real Fire next to servery and Sams' on hand pull. Many wall plates and picytures throughout the pub and a courtyard with tables for the summer.
Not the problems of the previous reviewer only down side no car park and the Old Brewery Bitter was very cold.

This has got to be the worst pub i have ever had the misfortune to have contact with the landlord is the most rude and obnoxious man i have ever met how he ever got to be running a pub i'll never know if he carries on like this he'll be out of business very soon i hope for every other persons sake that he gives it up now before he lives to regret it he even verbally admitted that he doesn't want customers I rang up to book a party i asked what facilities he had and his reply was "come and find out" before hanging phone up so I rang back and spoke to his wife and he was in the background shouting "tell that f@@king Bas@@@d to F@@k off avoid this pub at all costs
