See more about this pub on WhatPub, CAMRA's national pub guide.

An ancient stone-built pub in the middle of the village, it dates back to 1168 and was originally built to house masons building the church. The extensive inglenook contains rungs leading to a hideaway. Patronised by Cromwell's officers after the nearby Battle of Edgehill. Previously it was a Hook Norton pub but is now a free house. Completely refurbished and re-opened in 2017, it holds a Michelin Star (first awarded in 2021).
