The Poacher has been a public house since at least the 17th century. It was originally two cottages knocked together, the bay windows showing where the front rooms were. Since then it has been used at various times as a courtroom, parish council office and preaching room whilst still operating as a pub. Now a popular High Street pub, under new management in late 2018. Up to 30 different gins and a dozen wines. The new management have created a clean and safe environment for drinking and eating. Food is provided through the day. Everything is cooked in-house using local produce where possible. There is a large car park for customer use.
