Large former coaching inn situated close to the old Roman road of Watling Street. The wooden-floored interior is split between an expansive open plan dining area, a bar and a comfortable lounge area. The pub is very much food-led – Sunday roasts are popular and booking is recommended. The occasional house ales Piffle and Balderdash are brewed by Hydes. There is a large lawn with a children’s play area, and children are welcome inside until 7pm. Camping and caravan facilities are available nearby.
