Charming 17th-century country pub heated with wood burners. There are two bars split over two levels; a traditional bar where darts and skittles are played, and a comfortable beamed lounge leading to the restaurant which serves a wide variety of food. A large canopied patio overlooks the lawned garden. Regular live bands during the summer. Local Vale of Welton cider is stocked. Visit the recently-opened Little Shop of Ale for bottles to take away. Children and dogs are welcome.
