This fine rural dog-friendly free house is tucked away up a back lane at the southern end of the village and is popular with walkers and cyclists. The building dates from the 17th century, and the pub used to brew its own beer. It later became a Friary Meux pub until they sold it in 1979. Today families are welcome in the pub, which has a fireplace between the two bars. The rear part of the pub has been recently extended with floor to ceiling glass and a tiled floor. The right hand side of this has a bare-brick wall. Good quality food is served each day with roasts available Sunday lunchtime. The pub includes a shop which is open 8am -2pm Monday to Saturday and from 8am-noon on Sunday. Fresh coffee is served here.
