A large pub, originally from the Simonds/Courage stable, which overlooks the village green and adjacent pond with extensive, partly raised-level, heated patios around its perimeter. A wide range of food, including Sunday roasts, is served daily. Quiet, well-behaved, children are admitted until 9pm with dogs on leads allowed at all times; water barrels are provided for the latter outside. Can become particularly busy when sports are broadcast on the many TV screens within.
