Friendly pub established 1647. The cosy bar area has pump clips on the beamed ceilings and a real open fire. There are several dining areas including a conservatory restaurant and family room. Six regularly changing cask ales, mostly from micros and independents, include a low gravity beer and normally a strong dark ale. A number of stronger beers are normally available straight from the cellar and LocAles feature regularly. Large range of single malt whiskies. Good quality, reasonably priced food. The large garden has two play areas for children and toddlers. A beer festival is held in the summer.
