Still much the same; mostly restaurant but with a small area round the bar suitable for drinkers. The large dining part across the front has tartan carpet and lots of half-timbering of which a fair amount seems to be bogus but the ancient effect is there. Or at least it would be apart from the vast swathes of fairy lights. The side room is labelled for families but was laid up for a function. Ales still TT Landlord, Theakston Best and Wainwright and no complaints about condition. Food is fairly high quality but pricey and not in huge portions. They also cocked up our order and one of our drinks was in a dirty glass, so perhaps a little more attention to detail is needed. It is quite bizarre having a stove shop between the ladies and gents toilets!

Almost no changes in the last 14 years since my last review, it’s still more restaurant than pub, still has accommodation. Its dog and child friendly in a separate room, has live music occasionally and has a grand collection of fairy lights. Excellent service in the restaurant, where staff are unobtrusively attentive. It no longer has a clip collection and the beers on sale were Taylors Landlord (very good), Theakston Best Bitter and Wainwright of some form but there was no Brewery Conditioned rider, a T-Bar has Guinness, 2 ciders and 3 lagers. The village store now sells only stoves.

The history of the pub dates back to 1685. Charming place.

A posh, foody pub but not at all a gastropub in spite of its looks and it sells well kept, if a little chilly, cask beer with pleasant staff in traditional surroundings. The pub appears to have been converted from a row of cottages judging by the multi-level / multi area layout, each eating / sitting area has its own fireplace. The main entrance is from the car park leading into an upper bar area with counter and seating at tables and chairs, steps lead down to another dining area with counter, both counter faces have four handpumps and keg founts. Beers on my visit were from Black Sheep (bitter), Theakstons (Old Peculier) and two from Adnams, the collection of pumps clips behind the bar showed a range mainly from regionals like Marstons and Wadworths but also a couple of smaller breweries like Piddle, down in Dorset. To each side of this room are further eating and seating areas, the one to the left being at yet a lower level and finished in tongue and groove. The internal walls are mainly half timbered brick and decorated with cottage style plates, pictures and brass/pewterware and the odd horse accoutrement. Low beamed ceilings and small windows make the lighting very subdued and the candle powered tables probably help in the evenings, the constant musak is less welcome. There are daft drink related slogans painted on some of the beams. Attached to the pub at one end is a gift shop and village store.
