Imposing 17th-century free house built of Hornton stone at the edge of the Broughton Castle estate. This friendly and welcoming hostelry is popular for its beer, food and friendly welcome. The beamed and flag-stoned bar is ideal for sampling the two regular and two guest ales. Food is locally sourced. There is an attractive beer garden for summer drinking and dining, and the pub holds regular events including a monthly quiz. Well worth a visit.
