Restoration

Refurbished by Ridleys as their brewery tap, it has rooms of character, seemingly an unspoiled, picturesque Victorian country pub in a quiet hamlet. A wood-panelled bar has benches round the walls and a tiled floor. Beers are drawn direct from casks in the half-cellar. Serves giant baps called Huffers and traditional dishes. A large garden, accommodation and a roster of different events. Real ales and ciders.
