Its doors first opened to thirsty travellers over 200 years ago, its steeped in local history, preserved in time and pickled in cider. There's something quite unique about this humble little pub, having no actual bar makes it one of only 6 left in the country, ale casks are stacked on a stillage in an alcove, tapped, spiled and poured directly into your glass.
Its remained practically unchanged since WW1 with original Georgian features including wooden paneled pews and the earliest pub lettering in the country, it's grade 1 listed and on the national inventory of historic interiors. You'll find no TVs, flashing fruit machines or noisy jukeboxes here just a friendly and lively vibe with a community of locals and visitors.

Stayed here over new year despite challenging ground conditions the staff fitted everyone in.
The drinks are reasonably priced and the curry was yummy.
The site has direct access onto a footpath which takes you into the nearby village which has 2 pubs and co-op
The doesn’t have showers yet but I think the basic nature is part of the charm !
Will certainly be going back with my friends !

I camped here for two nights in the middle of November so it's unsurprising that the site was almost empty - which actually I prefer. I understand it's very busy in the summer.
However, the fact that I was almost the only person there did not mean the staff took any less care of me. Naturally, I tried the cider and found it excellent. Also the staff were welcoming and friendly, and made my stay very pleasant. I certainly will stay here again, possibly for more than just the two nights. It's my idea of the perfect camp site.

We booked last minute and had the best time. Orem was amazing when we got there as I had concerns about the mud and sinking but as you can see in the picture he popped us on the path.
We had a lovely curry and chocolate cake which my boys really enjoyed. The whole team were so lovely and made us feel welcome. We shall be back and send a few customers those way.
The pictured bar area was lovely - we sat in there for the curry listening to the music which was a good vibe.

Lovely campsite with different vibes depending on what nights you are staying, Friday & Saturday nights are fun with the entertainment and food and the barn. On Sunday and Monday it’s a chilled place to be. Great pub, plenty of cider choices, nice staff, adequate facilities (it will be better when the shower block is built!).
