Well kept beer and a sandwich which whilst lacking in any imagination or even taste, was reasonably priced and gave us the fuel we needed. The landlord left the bar to make the sandwiches which was fine as there was only one other person in the bar who studiously ignored us. It’s the sort of place that needs a refurbishment and a good tidy up as there appear to be piles of junk everywhere and the landlord is a happy to serve and then get back to something more interesting on his laptop. Still, you’d be grateful this was here if you were a local.

We live about three miles from the pub but feel it is well worth the journey to sample the excellent beer (and wine) and to enjoy the company of the friendly clientele, landlord and landlady and bar staff. We sometimes eat here early evening and the food has always been excellent. We look forward to many more visits to the pub over the coming years.

The landlord, doing his betting in the bar, made us feel like a definite inconvenience. Sorry for disturbing you! We normally walk past to go to the Poplar Farm, wish we had this time as well!
