A 16th-century former courthouse, the cellars were once dungeons holding prisoners and the remains of the indoor stocks can be found under the rear lounge windows. Four interconnecting rooms are served by a central bar dispensing the highly regarded Donnington ales. With low-beamed ceilings, flagstoned floors. inglenooks with real fires, wooden shuttered windows and settles it is full of character. Although noted for its fine home-cooked food, table reservations are not accepted, so arrive early (food available all day at weekends and in the summer). Wooden fort in children's area. Across the road is Jacdaw's Castle, the racing gallops of trainer Jonjo O'Neill. The connection is evident around the pub, especially after a big winner! This former North Cotswold CAMRA Pub of the Year has a large beer garden and two car parks.
One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest
Listed status: II
Stone-built Cotswold inn constructed in the late 17th or early 18th century with an extension dated 1905 on the front gable. The front door leads into a small stone-flagged corridor; behind the door is an old ‘bars up’, a piece of wood which pulls from the wall to secure the door. Straight ahead is the main bar with a small drinking area in front; the counter and tiling are post-war but the bar-back shelving is older. To the right, a superb stone-walled, flagstoned room has a beamed ceiling and an old fireplace with modern log burner. The bar counter is a later insertion but doesn't intrude too badly. Old window bench seating is painted cream and the windows have old wooden shutters. The areas to the left of the entrance corridor have suffered much opening out and there are extensions into rooms not formerly in pub use.
