The Punch Bowl is a traditional country pub located just off the A29. We stopped by for Sunday lunch a few weeks ago.
The pub itself has a small front garden and an attractive tile-hung exterior. Inside is all you'd expect, with low ceilings and heavy beamed ceilings. It's a listed building, and was originally a timber-framed house dating from the 17th and 18th centuries, though now has some more recent additions. There is a small central bar, a larger lounge bar to the right and a smaller snug room to the left.
They serve Sunday lunch through most of the the afternoon and evening, and the main menu is also available if you don;t want a roast. Portions are generous; for vegetarians, you get two large Yorkshire puddings with a very good selection of vegetables (lots of roast potatoes), so you won't go away hungry, though personally I'd have preferred a nut roast or something with my veg to provide a centrepiece to the dish. Staff were friendly and service reasonably swift, given it was late in the afternoon.
There is a good range of real ales and the usual lagers, wines, spirits, etc. There is parking at the rear. read more
