Another one of those traditional low ceiling pubs native to the area and a beautiful place to…read moredrink. Approaching it at night there are pretty lights in the tree outside and the latch door opens with a creak into a warm and cosy bar. The locals will probably turn and give you a look as so often they do around here but soon you'll slip into the background un-noticed. The owners Bill & Mary, who are Irish, create a nice atmosphere and during winter there is always a fire blazing. They serve good pub food which has come down in price in the last year but is hearty and always original. All in all worth a visit and worth travelling that bit further to.

I can't believe some of the reviews on here unless the day we visited all the chefs had died , we…read morehad dinner here on the 23rd of november2025 and without doubt this is the worst dinner I have ever had in a pub, lamb that tastes of nothing, roast potatoes that were rock hard tasteless and a rather strange colour, cauliflower cheese that was so runny and tasteless I doubt very much it had any cheese in it, I ate only a small portion of my meal and left the rest, the only reason I didn't make a fuss is because it was a 50th birthday and didn't want to ruin their day. this meal had all the appearance of food cooked a day or two ago and reheated for us, disgusting avoid this place like the plague.

The Sword Inn Hand is in the pretty village of Westmill and is a very old and traditional building…read more Inside there is friendly and efficient service you'd expect from a place well renowned for it's food and it doesn't disappoint. There is a good selection of lagers, beers and wines plenty of cosy seating spread through the building as well as a large garden for kids outside. Located just off the busy A10 but far enough away that you wouldn't know it's there it is an ideal spot if you are passing and they also offer B&B accommodation as well. Probably what it is best known for is the Sunday lunches they serve which are probably the best in the area. Admittedly they aren't cheap and it'll set you back around £20 a head after drinks etc but it is worth experiencing once or for special occasions.

The Beehive is a pub of great character and one of the few in the area which isn't brewery owned…read more Recently revamped in the last year or so it is cosy and extremely popular with the local. Although located on the old main road through the area it doesn't get too much passing trade and many people miss out on what they have to offer. The landlord Mel and his wife are always friendly and helpful and the beer selection is good, including a guest beer throughout the year. A great place to settle into for an evening relax on one of the comfy sofas or at the end of the bar listening to the banter of the local and has a pleasant garden that is great in summer. The only shame about the place is that it doesn't open longer and throughout the week.
