Inspector comments
"Hearty cooking in quintessential village pub."
Overview
Wisteria-festooned and genuinely unspoilt, this red-brick Victorian pub is still the hub of village life. Locals continue to prop up the bar over foaming pints of ale but the high quality, unpretentious cooking draws diners from far and wide. Big flavours are conjured from well-sourced ingredients, whether it’s pub classics or the more contemporary dishes.
