The Flowing Spring

A midsummer beer festival promising a dozen ales, live music and barbecue is one of a myriad of exciting events that take place throughout the year at this rural Fuller's establishment. Unusually the pub is on the first floor, which slopes steeply from one end of the bar to the other; the verandah overlooks Thames Valley countryside. Its quirky character notwithstanding, the pub has been recognised for its well-kept ales and cellar, and the menu of no-nonsense pub favourites is backed by a comprehensive range of vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free options. The huge garden is bounded by streams.
