Limited but good quality local cask ales with perfunctory alternatives. Occasional local produce like fruit juice.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Unspoilt little pub based in a whitewashed stone cottage. Tiny bar area with almost more pumps than seats, and a lounge with a hatch. There is a sweetshop counter in between. All 3 accessible from separate doors. Rustic and homely with fireplace and cushioned seating.

DescriptionOne of England’s one-off’s, a surviving country inn still running a sweet shop as well as a pub. Three little rooms each accessible from individual doorways, this charming and unique family-run cottage serves local ales, very basic butties, pork pies, snacks, sweets and occasionally locally made produce like juices. Inside the pub it is very cosy and intimate, a social space that’s exciting, out of time and an instant conversation starter. As the proprietor says himself, on average 3 times a day he’ll hear someone say the words ‘ Never change’. Three cheers to that! (Added November 2022)
