A village pub on the edge of the peak District and is very much at the heart of the local community. It was taken into community ownership in 2015 and was bought from Marston's Brewery by means of a share issue. It is now owned by The Rushton Oak Community Pub Company Ltd. The pub offers 3 real ales from Wincle brewery plus usually one changing and serves decent food all day, every day. A large outdoor seating area to the rear can be covered during wet weather. Hosts regular community events and a popular quiz night on the last Wednesday of the month. Dog friendly, welcomes walkers and cyclists.
