See more about this pub on WhatPub, CAMRA's national pub guide.

Busy and picturesque village local dating from the 16th century and owned by the local Church. There are plenty of exposed beams and nooks and crannies in the several distinct areas around the bar. There is also a separate room at the rear, which serves as a restaurant extension or a function/meeting room.

The pub is very popular for its food where much of the produce is sourced locally and is all freshly made. There is a sunny garden to the front of the pub for sitting and drinking and a large child-friendly garden to the rear, while a real fire awaits inside in the winter months.

Car parking is available on the common ground opposite.

Information about the nearby Civil War Battle of Chalgrove and Parliamentarian John Hampden (who was mortally wounded at it) is displayed. Mahjong evenings take place on Wednesdays. The village church has fine wall paintings, which can be viewed by borrowing the key from the nearby Post Office.

There is defibrillator at the primary school, about 200 m away.
