About us

Old stone village pub with low ceilings, beams, a fireplace at each end of an attractive long bar, and a games room housing a TV. There is an adjoining skittle alley. Excellent quality ales and good-value snacks makes a visit to this friendly pub well worthwhile. At the heart of most village activities this really is a true community pub. Thatcher's l cider on hand-pump and more cider in boxes. Heart of Wessex branch pub of the year 2017.

A good basic local friendly pub, didn’t eat there so cannot comment on food. Service and beer was enjoyable so wouldn’t hesitate to go back, all in a good pub to while away the evening hours!

Great traditional pub. Won the Heart of Wessex CAMRA Pub of the Year a few years ago and keeps a good selection of real ales as you would expect. Great lunches too and very reasonably priced.

Great place to visit, but when I visited (a Wednesday lunchtime) there were only 4 locals there. From what I could tell they're a freehold place, and I had a pint of Fortitude from Bristol Beer Factory. Very nice! The only issue was that they don't have a card reader - cash only! That meant a little embarrassment since I had to rely on my companion to pay with the cash he had on hand.

Midday Wednesday Ale time. The Ale was in superb condition and the pub was bustling with people. So good to see from a local community pub. Thank you for the hospitality.
