At one time it was known as the Preacher's Pub because it was a favourite with travelling preachers. Originally a timber framed house dating back to about 1700. It is much altered and extended but some original timber framing remains. There are three separate areas around a central bar. The best feature is a deep inglenook fireplace set in thick stone walls. The food is honest pub grub and there are daily specials. There is a function room for hire. The tables and benches on the forecourt are popular and often crowded in good weather.
