Bar snacks include focaccia croutes and pork croquettes and there is an interesting main menu at prices to be expected for the area.

Historic Interest
The pub dates back to the late 17th century when it was named the Black Lion. Peninsular War hero John Moore "quaffed the unadulterated beverage of malt and hops" here. By 1820 it boasted a bowling green and a tea garden. The present pub was rebuilt in 1892.
