Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Goats Head

Fine-looking black-and-white inn at one end of the Market Place (now the village green), this one retains a public bar and lounge / dining area; fully separated, although the two counters are linked behind the scenes, and all is more basic inside than one might expect from such a building. Just Landlord (£3.70) available from the bank of three handpumps on each side.

A substantial barbecue was being assembled at the front of this impressive-looking building. We entered a covered outdoor area through the courtyard at the side. There was plenty of seating undercover, with further seating in a large garden beyond.

A band was setting up and despite all but one table being empty, we were informed that the pub was fully booked. It appears that the band and barbecue were due to start within 30 minutes-1 hour and that all tables had been pre-reserved, presumably by those in the know.

After explaining that we were only passing through, we were allowed to occupy a table. Any later in the day and I fear we would have been turned away thirsty.

Butty Bach was the solitary real ale, with the landlord explaining that it wasn't worth stocking them as they had to keep pouring them away.

Of the two pubs in the village, I much preferred the Crown, but my opinion may have been different on a more ordinary day.

Hosted Dick Turpin when he stole Black Bess.
Good selection of 4 ales. Stopped in for lunch at 2.30, but only served the dinner menu, even though website advertises light snacks.
