Improve This Listing

Situated in a pretty village with Roman villa and part-Norman church, this picturesque, thatched building rose in the 16th century as three cottages, and served as a bakery before becoming a pub in the 1890s. Saved from closure in the 1990s by a local consortium, but later sold to a private owner, it still bears the name of Strong's (brewery, long closed) of Romsey. The cosy restaurant / lounge and flagstone-floored bar have handsome fireplaces, and seating includes settles. Food (not Sunday evening) includes local beef, pork and game, and home-made puddings; booking is advisable.

Hours updated August 2023. Sunday opening will be extended for home village cricket games.

Historic Interest

Originally 17th century, rebuilt 18th century and extended in the 19th. Grade II listed. Historic England list entry 1167669
