Situated in the beautiful countryside along the Vanguard Way where ramblers & dog walkers find themselves having a quiet pint and taking in their surroundings.

The pub itself is friendly pub and dare I say it's mainly over the “life begins at “ stage with a quench for decent music and a decent roast dinner not out of the microwave.

“If music be the food of love play on”

Supporting Live Music most weekends Sundays being the surprisingly favourite day when at 4pm the atmosphere buzzes and we are spoiled with live music varying from Rock / Jazz / Blues / 60’s / Soul & Motown.

On top of that hosting a Jam Session the last Sunday of every month (exc May) giving all musicians & vocalists the chance to show their talent, supported by the Blues house band Tres Geezers.
