See more about this pub on CAMRA's national web site

At the center of a picture postcard village we have a partially thatched ex-Rayments pub which dates from 1650 with recent extensions added in the 19th century. The Christou family have run this quintessential country pub for over 30 years. For restaurant bookings prior reservation may be essential as this pub is popular. Unusually besides a restaurant area, there is a public bar which now has a television and occasionally hosts live music events. Walkers and cyclists are frequent users and the Harcamlow way passes the pub.
