Classic proper pub with a bar that is surrounded by rooms, so you can mingle or disappear and enjoy a quiet drink.
Tucked back from the high street, it is appalling as you walk past, the reason we visited in the first place.
It's dog friendly, staff seem friendly as well.
They went all out with the Halloween decorations and it was nice near Christmas as well.
I don't go to pubs much, but this will be the one on barwell I visit when I do.
There's a car park at the rear, although small.
†update We've now returned a few times and recently had some good food. It's not fine dining, but you get a good sized portion that tastes good and is well cooked. Cheesy garlic crumpets are a highlight as well as the minted gravy and lamb cheesy chips!
They also brought out a few treats for our dog. ♥️
Looking forward to summer...
