See more about this pub on WhatPub, CAMRA's national pub guide.

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. 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. Destroyed in a fire in March '22, rebuilt and reopened in Oct '23
