This attractive village pub was originally a smithy and was turned into a pub by Ushers’ brewery architect A.G. Wright in 1949, an unusual date since postwar austerity put a stop to most pub-building and refurbishment till well into the Fifties. However, here labour and most materials were available from the Radnor estate. There are three rooms with red quarry-tile floors throughout. The front two counters appear to be original but the plain affair in the back room seems later. The front room with its high ceiling may well have served as the forge and has a rather remarkable, quirky twisted chimneypiece (incorporating new brickwork.in places). This room has an old settle. The ‘distressed’ wooden boarding in places seems very recent. There is an emphasis on locally sourced food. The pub is leased from the National Trust.
