Great little village pub, homely, welcoming, very friendly and good staff. Car park to rear. Beer garden. Has live music. Home cooked food. Handpulled cask beers were Butcombe Brewing Co's Chris Moose Yuletide Ale, Tiny Rebel's Sleigh Puft Triple Chocolate Nougat Marshmallow Porter, (!!!) Greene King's Fireside Winter Ale, Timothy Taylor's Landlord and Timothy Taylor's Boltmaker.

I had the Chriscringle pie and it came with veggie gravy, roast potatoes, mash, carrots, broccoli, Yorkshire pudding and parsnips. Christmas cake with brandy sauce for pud. All yummy. Recommended and yep, would...
