Offering sanctuary from the busy A25 the pub has low wooden beams and wood floor, leather sofas and tables with fresh flowers. Although open plan, distinct areas are arranged around the bar with darts in the former public bar, a window alcove and a space to relax in front of the wood stove perhaps while reading the daily newspapers or editions of Private Eye provided. The tasteful restaurant area contains tables to accommodate differently-sized parties and extends into a wood panelled room decorated with hops. A good choice from the menu is supplemented by fish speciality dishes. Access to the pub from the car park is via a raised garden adorned with hanging baskets in summer and space for a bouncy castle for kids on bank holidays. Private parties and other events, such as christenings, are catered for.
