This is a great pub, a local secret with very good food. Famous for their schnitzel, there are also enough other choices on the menu to keep all of your friends and family happy. I can heartily recommend the flat iron steak salad!
The range of drinks on offer is as you would expect for a pub but they also have a few good ales on tap as you'd expect.
The staff are friendly, attentive and helpful with recommendations for food and drinks. The decor is wonderful as it acts as a living museum for the village of Evenley as well. There is a good space for dining and drinking outside, a well maintained play area for children and it is dog friendly too! There is plenty of car parking at the pub. This is a great little venue and I can only imagine how good the atmosphere must be if you get there just as a game of football or cricket begins on the village green opposite.
Keep an eye out and take the time to enjoy a visit to this charming local pub with...

We love popping in for a drink in the summer, but I am unsure we will return for dinner. It's a bit of a bugbear of mine but young people need to learn how to communicate with us oldies! I am in my 50's and worked in various restaurants as a teenager, including...
Read moreLovely village pub, delicious Sunday roast and nice wine selection. In the summer the garden is a really nice place to sit and bonus is it has a play area! The garden is set out in a way that you could sit away from the play area if you wanted, or there are some tables right next to it so you can supervise children. It's mainly food inside in the evening, but if stopping for just a drink you can sit under heated covered area. My only one improvement would be smaller cheaper children's portions, £10 for a 3 year old with desserts then full price is a bit steep. For older children it's great, but a toddler size would be good. Love the after dinner...
