A sprawling, landmark pub dating from 1665 but much extended in the 19th century. The opened-up interior offers distinct drinking areas, with the large room through to the left boasting a whispering gallery effect to rival that of St Paul’s Cathedral. The conservatory beyond serves as a restaurant. The Burger Shack outside opens in summer. The premises include a 42-bedroom, boutique hotel.
The pub has a sporty character and hosts teams from the neighbouring common. Rugby is popular here. Quiz night is Sunday. Card payment only.
