Early 18th century coaching inn on the old Great North Road. Mentioned in the Charles Dickens book Nicholas Nickelby, and guests have included Samuel Pepys. Four distinct bar areas create an intimate atmosphere with exposed beams and varied furnishings. One bar area is dominated by a huge inglenook fireplace and wood settles. At the rear, a comfortable restaurant offers an extensive menu, with a blend of traditional pub food and carvery. Food is available every lunchtime and Monday to Saturday evenings. A private dining room is available. An extensive garden includes a marquee, a patio area and pétanque court.

Historic Interest

Early 18th century coaching inn on the Great North road. The oldest fittings are on the right hand side and include a splendid fitted curved high backed settle; part glazed partition wall; and another curved one at the rear of the servery. The wood surround of the inglenook fireplace and some dado panelling are of some age. The layout of four small rooms across the front of the building has been like this for 40+ years, although it is doubtful they were all bars in the past. The counters could be 50/60s but the bar back shelves are modern. Behind the bar on the left has been subject to recent changes and the building has been extended to the rear. Mentioned in the Charles Dickens book Nicholas Nickelby, and guests have included Samuel Pepys.
