This traditional pub, with timbered gables, bay windows, and ivy-covered walls was once the northern gateway to the estate of Lord Winterton. Comfortably furnished, and with a roaring fire in the Winter months, the pub has a cozy feel to it, while in the Summer months the tree-filled garden is well used.
There is a separate restaurant area off to one side, although you can dine anywhere in the pub. Food is also available as takeaways, using local produce wherever possible.
There is a strong focus on local breweries, resulting in their accreditation to CAMRA’s “Locale” scheme. In addition to the real ales there are a further half dozen keg beers on tap and a fridge full of an eclectic range of bottled and canned beers from, predominantly London-based micro-breweries.
