Quality of Drinks
❤️❤️❤️❤️
A superior range of cask ales for a rural pub with rotating guest ales. Keg and back-bar are more ordinary.
Style/
Décor
❤️❤️❤️❤️
A somewhat tired exterior leads into a charming and unspoilt stone Inn. Stretching across a wide room with an additional games room to the rear. Carpeted with simple traditional pub furniture. Low beams and hunting/sporting memorabilia.
Atmosphere/

Social and chatty as opposed to a dining pub, this is somewhere to have a drink and a chat, pleasingly casual.

Food, snacks, Thai food night, local honey for sale, pool, darts, outdoor seating, books, instruments, open mic night and other community events
Value For Money❤️❤️❤️❤️
Good and fair value for the offer.
DescriptionAn increasingly rare find, The Huntsman’s emphasis is on community and social bonding despite its semi-rural location, offering a plethora of amenities from its food, snacks, Thai food night, local honey for sale, pool, darts, outdoor seating, books, instruments, open mic night and other community events to give people every chance to come here for a drink.

The drinks are good too if you enjoy cask ales, with several on rotation, mainly at very affordable prices. The interior is worn-in but homely, with musical instruments and memorabilia relating to hunting and local sports teams.

The effort put into the place should be highly commended in an environment that is causing such venues to close at an alarming rate.
