See more about this pub on WhatPub, CAMRA's national pub guide.
Attractive old inn that has grown considerably since it first served the local farming community as a single roomed pub. There is a splendid entrance up some steps from the car park that leads to an attractive interior with several linked sections with some on different levels. A refurbishment has seen the emergence of a lighter decor and contemporary furnishings that blend quite well with their surroundings to retain a traditional country inn feel. There is also a secluded room, the 'Gallery' off the main bar, that is a cosy nook with comfy armchair seating and a sporting theme with old memorabilia plus a 3D Sky Sports TV. While the emphasis is on the popular food offering (with seasonal variations) it still accommodates those just wanting a quiet drink. The extensive menu includes nibbles and starters, mains (including vegetarian), curries, fish, gourmet burgers, grills, salads, sandwiches, kids menu, a 'Diamond Menu' for the over 50's, desserts and a Sunday carvery. Note last dining orders are at 9pm on Monday evenings as this is quiz night. Sadly since Orchid Inns was taken over by M&B, the cask ale offering is now very limited to nationally listed ales, of which only one remains here.
