Lodge

Situated in the middle of the village, opposite the church, the Lodge is also known locally as the Top House. Sold by Marstons into private ownership, it was converted into a restaurant in 2015, but reverted to a pub under a new tenancy in December 2016. It's a relatively large pub with three rooms including a games room equipped with a pool table. and is quite a comfortable sort of place with some soft seating and a log fire. If one looks closely in the pub yard there is evidence of the Lodge Brewery which used to be there up to pre-war times. Apparently it also had a maltings on site. As to the name "Lodge", this was the name of the ecclesiastical district up to the late 19th century. Currently not offering food while refurbishment continues.
