.jpg "Left Hand Bar. by Michael Slaughter. Published on")
A 17th-century, stone-built free house almost hidden up a side road in the lower half of Cranham village. A log fire dominates the main bar. Extensive woods nearby make this an ideal stopping point for walkers.
As at November 2021, a community group plans to register a community benefit society, register the pub as an asset of community value, and launch a community share scheme to purchase the pub.
One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest
Listed status: Not listed
17th-century pub almost hidden up a side road with two small rooms that have not changed in over fifty years. The public bar on the left has a red quarry tiled floor and old dado panelling all round the walls with bare benches attached. The style of the Formica-topped counter suggests it was installed in the 1950s/early 1960s – the bar-back shelves could be of similar age. The lounge on the right, through a narrow door and down two steps, has a bar-back with an illuminated panel at the top and glass shelves of a style seen with refits circa 1960, which is probably also the date of the counter. Two small rooms upstairs have been brought into use as dining rooms - the first has 'beauty board' dado panelling. The car park is situated further up the hill, past the pub.
