A pretty good pub, although as noted elsewhere you'll be drinking alongside foodies and sometimes younger children, which can be off-putting at some points.
Ale range was fairly good (I remember four: TT Landlord, Brains SA Gold, Goffs Jouster and a Butlers), served well.
Open gallery above the bar gave the place a bit of uniqueness it would have lacked otherwise. I recall a TV with the rugby on (c'mon Wales!).
Not bad at all, worth seeking out. Not quite in the same league as the Bell further south in Aldworth (but very few pubs are!) but certainly worthy of attention.

Nice place, went there last week, good local beers, nice chap 'Tim' and intereting locals.

Definitely geared towards food and packed as a result - I'm not sure how people who just wanted a drink would feel. My steak baguette was the best I've ever had. There was a variety of local real ales. Mine was fine but nothing special. Note the open gallery above the bar - a unique feature in pubs.

Great selection of local beers and the odd one like Timothy Taylors and Growler from further afield. Ribeye steak was good value and delicious and the Thursday night curry with a pint is good value at £6.95. Highly recommended.

Great village pub-recently voted PotY by local CAMRA branch.Apparently the food is good too- well worth a visit

went there twice recently, lovely place with friendly staff (including the pub dog), good selection of beers and good food. Shame they put gravel outside so the beergarden isn't that nice. However access to a playing field so if you're with kids that's a bonus

This is my local so i'm going to be a bit biased but this pub is great. Since being taken over by Tim it has gone from strength to strength and caters for every taste. Really friendly atmosphere, good food and great beer.

I only ever visid this pub once. It was late sunday evening and was a little quieter. It was so lovely and relaxing,and the dog-molly wondering around the place. Kids are allowed to run freely, so best to go in when they 're at home.
Really loved the pub, worth a visit.

Called in on a Saturday lunchtime after a break of many years. Not the village local I remember, of course.
Severely, and pretentiously, food orientated, and full of pretentious 4x4 type families with screaming babies and kids running around out of control. However you don't feel too out of place just having a drink of the nice range of beers, although I suspect the sight of even an unlit fag would cause flamboyant arm waving and coughing fits all round.
It might well be alright after about 10PM when all the foodies have gone home to bed.
