Still a Village Local!

Stacks Image 227
Part of this pub’s appeal is that it is still the village local, and as you enter into its cosy, low beamed bar you’ll often find regulars with their dogs and guns sat next to the huge fireplace, sinking pints and shooting the breeze with walkers fresh from the hills. Move through to the tasteful little lounge for an aperitif, before taking your seat in the bright rear dining room with its exquisite celestial ceiling mural and fine views over the rolling hills towards Exmoor.

We look forward to giving you a warm welcome when you visit us during 2013.

"Just to say thank you so much for the recent Soup and Pasta masterclass which my sister and I both loved. As well as your very generous sharing of skills and tips and the delicious lunch it was great getting to know new people over lunch on the long table. I'm looking forward to the Salmon class in June!"
