See more about this pub on CAMRA's national web site

A delightful small country pub dating from 1425 (the landlords from 1758 are listed inside). A timber-framed and plastered Grade II-listed building with many low beams, two bars and bench seats in front of the windows. Ideally situated for country walkers and cyclists with outside seating. A free house with a very experienced landlady (who has been there since 1971; her son is now joint licensee). In current CME Recommended Pub Guide. Additionally open on Summer Sunday evenings from 7 to 10.30pm. Pub does not do food and may close at 2.30pm if not busy/empty.
