News

We are optimistic that the worst of COVID is past and the coming summer will be fantastic. Let’s hope the weather is as good as last year!

We have used the lockdown to upgrade a lot of this charming building, including a big improvement to the bar rooms, re-instating the fireplace (with logburner) in the large lounge, adding some fine antique furniture..

Summer Holidays

Posted: July 21st, 2024

Congratulations for choosing to visit the most beautiful corner of England, and it is the perfect place to escape the heat! Yes, we like a bit of rain, it keeps everything lush and green. When the weather is good, come and sit in our lovely beer garden. Just in case you hit a damp spell, come inside, we have lots of tables, and enjoy our homecooked food and fine ales. We take table bookings for the start of each session. After that, just walk in. If we are busy, there may be a short delay. We are usually busiest from 7pm each evening, so if you can come earlier it will be less crowded and service will be quicker. See you soon!
