Everything About Us

Our pub

No bookings needed

No bookings needed

The  whole inside of the pub is a  wonderful  cosy  red  colour and looks magnificient - and  we’ve  added  some  pews  to  make  it  even  lovelier and welcoming.


The  Lion  Cub,  a  horse-box  transformed  into  an  outside  bar and is  a  mini-me  of  the  pub!    Look  out  for  it  on  events  days  on  the  green or when we have events in the garden in the summer.


Visit our sister pub - The  George  Inn - a couple of villages away in Shalford. Another proper village pub.  Have a drink and sample the menu whilst having a game of pool. Paul Pilgrim, the owner, will love to tell you about the place - here grew up here - so catch him;  one of the staff; or one of the ever-so friendly locals for a chat.

We are open and serving food all day, everyday - we don't take bookings - just rock up for a crackin’ good time.


We specialise in homemade, delicious Italian style pizzas,  and  the  meat  toppings have  been  lovingly and  slowly  smoked  by  Paul  And  are  truly delicious.

A  real  old country pub  with  good atmosphere  and  the  smoked  meats  on  the  menu  are  a  delicious  change.
