Independent brewery cask beers
At first sight, this former farmhouse is in the middle of nowhere, but as the nearby village and the country beyond have no pubs, it is the local for quite a lot of people. Strangers are not cold-shouldered either. The main entrance gives onto an old-fashioned hall with loads od old prints: the main bar, oak-beamed and with pews and (usually) a roaring fire is to the right, the dining-room, opened 2004, to the left. There are two rooms off the bar, one designated a family room. There is a permanent marquee for functions in the garden and an ice-cream van on site in the summer.
Open 12-12; Sun 12-11
Food 12-2, 5-8.30; 12-9 Fri, Sat; 12-7.30 Sun a
