Purchased by the local community, and re-opened after a period of closure and renovation in May 2018. There are now 250+ local shareholders of this 17th century pub in a quiet village must be pleased with the transformation that has taken place, and it is now the real hub of this local community with a monthly book club and a fortnightly quiz. The lounge is laid out for food, though you can eat anywhere in the pub and there is a separate restaurant / function room in the Stables at the rear. We have 3 real ales on offer, Station Bitter and Shropshire Gold are our permanent ales plus we have a rotating guest ale, we have extensive Gin Shelf that has now been added, with a 'gin of the month' offering. The Beer Garden has also received some attention, There are now ducks and rare breed Hens and Quails and the beer garden has been updated with a superb display of wild flowers. There are also tables outside at the front. Voted best pub of 2023 by the Countryside Alliance / Daily Telegraph
