Large, imposing village pub, probably dating back to the 17th-century. There are three linked rooms around a central serving area, all with beamed ceilings and exposed timber framing in the walls: a large split level public bar, a stone floored lounge, and a small snug. Evening meals (not Sunday) are available from an attached Cantonese restaurant/take-away, the Stables Restaurant, which can be accessed from the public bar. Barbeques are usually held on bank holidays. Quiz night last Wednesday of month; occasional other events (see website). The local Pigeon Club meets here, and beyond the car park there is a bowling green and associated clubhouse which, while owned by the pub/Marston's, is operated by Ridware Bowls Club.
