Recently refurbished, this 16th-century pub balances the traditional and contemporary. An intimate front bar is dominated by six hand pumps while a larger main bar offers comfort for drinkers and diners. The large rear garden is a sunny summer haven. Excellent home-cooked food is served every day. Events include beer festivals and quiz nights are planned. Areas inside and outside can be booked for functions and meetings. Now managed once again by Punch.
