Stone floors and scrubbed pine furniture set the tone of this pub which has been serving ale for nearly 300 years. There's a 'piano room' with no piano, and a 'pool room' with no pool table, and a rare example of a Twister on the ceiling is also noteworthy! Both have additional seating, as does a new room opened up on the far side of the kitchen when the pub changed hands and was refurbished in 2017.
Featuring a more focused menu since the change of ownership, the emphasis is till on traditional British dishes, sourced from local suppliers, the pub is busy with diners at lunchtime and in the early evening in the summer, but perfect for a pint and a natter at other times. If you fancy staying the night, book one of the rooms next door in the Old Post Cottage.
Woodforde's Wherry is the regular beer, complemented by up to five guests, depending on the season.
There is no bus service passing the pub, but there are two stops about a ten-minute (1250m) walk away.
