What a gem of a pub! We must have passed this pub many times before but have not until today been inside. It is much older than it looks from the roadside and full of charm. I imagine it would be very cosy on a winter's night with a pint in one of the snugs. We sat in the small secluded garden at the back.
In an area where most pubs offer more or less the same menu it is refreshing to find one that is doing its own thing.

All topped off with a pint of Youngs for me and a half a Shere Drop for my wife, both well kept.

This place seems dated compared to all the pubs that surround it. Great if that's what you want, but there are some amazing new breweries springing up. Hopefully they can tap into that market? Update still no phone reception, which is vaguely understandable, but to still have no WiFi a year later is almost inexcusable. There is no data...
