Dating from early 17th century, this Grade II listed pub was refurbished in 2014. On show is plenty of bare board flooring with some carpeting, bare brick walls, low ceilings & beams, decorated with antique memorabilia including beer jugs and foxes. There are no fewer that three wood burning fires to keep the pub cosy in winter. The pub has been discreetly opened out from what one imagines were once four or five rooms, with the large wooden bar in the middle. Four handpumps face the front entrance while cider & beer casks and a good selection of wine are around the side. The menu offers a variety of quality traditional pub food. There are a couple of garden tables outside the front and a larger garden to the rear with two shepherd huts for glamping. While there is reasonable flat access, the pub's listed status precludes full disabled facilities.
Historic Interest
Early 17th century, Grade II listed. Historic England list UID: 1350847. After over 400 years, the pub does have some history to it. The Prince of Wales (later to be crowned King George IV) once visited here and was so impressed that he granted permission to display his crest, which can still be seen carved in oak on the exterior of the pub. Earlier, in 1644, the Parliamentary Army took refreshments prior to the Battle of Cheriton, the turning point of the English Civil War.
