​An unspoilt old cottage inn, licensed for over three centuries; a range of well kept ales including Old Pie Factory and Wye Valley served by friendly long-serving landlady. No food (can bring your own sandwiches & eat in the pretty little furnished brick courtyard & gardens). A simple small main bar with a fine old poster of Lucas Blackwell & Arkwright Brewery, a clock with hours spelling out Thornley's Ale - both famous breweries from yester year. Sturdy old-fashioned tables and a couple of stout leather-covered settles facing each other over spotless tiles, roaring log fire and a snug with a familiar old bar billiard's table which takes sixpences (that are available).

​

We welcome locals, cyclists, walkers, riders and ramblers. Disabled access and plenty of parking spaces. An atmosphere for friends, wanderers, and adventurers to share a drink as equals.
