This 16th century, unspoilt village free house is a fine old stone building, with ironstone in its construction. However the front part is Victorian, with a listed outdoor privy. The bare floored drinking area contrasts with the separate well appointed restaurant. A traditional drinkers pub with live music from time to time. Landlord celebrated 40 years running this pub in 2023, now with enthusiastic staff. It has retained its character. Food sourced locally when possible.
Creeper covered early 19th century ironstone pub bought by Henty and Constable in 1925. Front bar was two rooms until 1985 and the 'publican's rustic' tables and partially curved settle were all fitted in 1985. The panelled elm wood bar counter and pot shelf was made from panelling in the upstairs former club room and fitted in 1985 as were the wooden window shutters. 1930s brick fireplace and a log burner, scrubbed top tables made in 1985.
At the rear off a corridor is a small snug/games room with an old door folded back, a 1930s brick fireplace, low panelled ceiling, just one table, a pew and a settee and is used as a family room.
The rear left room has a bar counter fitted in 1985, an old brick fireplace with an old fireback and log fire, and two scrubbed top tables again from 1985. There are three openings to a dining area at the rear which is a later addition and has an open rafter ceiling. The toilets are outside and across an arched area on the left of the pub.
