Among the attractions at this 17th-century black-and-white timbered village pub are the glorious summer gardens, the sun-trap patios and the bowling green. In winter, retreat inside the former smithy to find cosy, low-ceilinged rooms with old beams, exposed brickwork and open log fires. Owners Rory and Debbie are committed to providing quality food and service in a warm and friendly atmosphere. The extensive menu offers wholesome, traditional dishes such as deep-fried whitebait, steak, ale and mushroom pie, and fish and chips, alongside beef Stroganoff, a hot lunchtime buffet, and popular Sunday roast lunches (booking essential).
