| Rather odd little set up split into three areas, no doubt due to the ancient character of the building. One small, rather rough looking drinking bar, approached through a door directly on the High Street and another general area through another door lying back from the High Street. This area houses the bar tacked on to the side of the room and with some seating for a few diners having lunch when we were there. At the rear of this area a short connecting corridor leads into a longer wider section with a few tables and chairs along the length and a door out to the car park at the rear. Despite the main bar retaining its old character with oak beams and large open range fire there was a distinct lack of atmosphere about the place. The Courage Best went down well though. redbarrel - 14 Nov 2011 13:00 |

| This lovely old pub should be the heart and soul of the village placed as it is in the high street but it is nearly always empty. This is a shame but not surprising! I do not appreciate sitting in this pub while the manager chatting to a couple of his friends at the bar (who appear to be the only regulars that now seem to frequent the place) was constantly using bad language. This would put off any newcomers and has deterred past regulars. The beer was fine but I shall not be visiting again until the management sorts itself out. Incidentally they stopped serving all food several weeks ago. ladydrinker - 1 May 2011 23:48 |
| Oh dear. Pub shut last Saturday evening for the night. Evidently, they had a better offer elsewhere for that night. The new managers certainly know how to put the customers in their place and provide an extraordinary lesson in loyalty to the regulars. bumpsfelt - 13 Apr 2011 12:07 |
| Update to review below as beer selection was much better. Two from each of Hammerpot, Dark Star and Surrey Hills with GK IPA also. Hammerpot Bottle Wreck Porter was excellent. GuideDogSaint - 7 Feb 2010 17:09 |
