This popular former Courage Brewery house was a coaching inn back in the day. Entry from the main road takes you into a pleasant bar which extends to the left and down the side of the pub. After a period of closure, it re-opened as a gastropub in late November 2017 with an obvious emphasis on quality food with local provenance. The ales change regularly and feature familiar and popular brands.

New management and a good face-lift summer 2024. Booking is advised for the weekends.
