A popular family-run traditional village pub with a relaxed, friendly atmosphere, which retains a two-bar layout little altered since the early 1970s. Pub games including dominoes, cribbage and poker dice are popular - you will be welcome to get involved.

Changing guest beer is usually from a local brewery.

Open mic folk sessions take place on the second Tuesday and regular quizzes are held - see website for details

18th century village local. In the left hand lino floored main bar (note the '2' on the inside of the door) is a Victorian counter which was originally in the right hand room (you can check the markings under the carpet to confirm this). If you take a look at the far left part of the counter you will see it consists of three small pieces indicating it had to be cut up to make it fit! The bar back is at least 30 years old with some modern additions. The pub was extended to the left in the 1960/70s to bring the toilets inside. In the right hand bar is an old counter which was introduced in the 1970s and shortened - it was originally in the Crown, Fakenham. The folding partition walls (originally in the left hand main bar) now separate it from the third room (presumably they replaced a wall) and this has some old, possibly 1960s bench seating.
