The best thing about the Springhead is 'mine host' Lynne, who encourages and welcomes local bands to go along for practise nights where they can sit and enjoy decent ales, wines and spirits with crisps etc. My favoured night is a fortnightly Monday evening visit of the Frank Cleveland big band who play a varied programme including wonderful renditions of Glen Miller amongst others.

The area is totally fenced off making it safe for both kids and dogs. There is also a good choice food menu being served from tea-time. The Landlady and her staff are always very pleasant. They are serving drinks/food outside due to COVID restrictions. I cant recommend this pub enough to have an enjoyable...
