I have busted friends in this pub for over 30 years, until his lease expires I will not return which is a shame. The Bass was off, he doesn't know his weights & measures either. He begrudgingly served me a 50ml measure of Ginger Wine & commented it should be 25ml. Oh, really? Avoid at all costs ppl. Such a shame as the rest of the staff & locals are lovey.

It was humiliating and made us feel like criminal scammers. Completely shocked by this we immediately paid for them. Fortune later we were able to prove with internet banking that we had in fact already paid for them the e yea payment was refunded . There was no apology, explanation or complimentary drink. If you order food here get a receipt and keep it. Nice pub, nice customers, shame about the unprofessional snap wrong decision of those running it. CUSTOMERS BEWARE, we didn't see this coming.

The landlord was happy to let me bring the dog into the pub. He explained that they were promoting local real ale and offered me a taste of one. While he pulled a pint for me, another chap got the dog a bowl of cold water. Then the dog and me sat under a parasol in the beer garden taking in the attractive village green. Pretty close to heaven to be honest.
