Thatched 16th-century inn on the A35. The Cricketers' bar, a lounge with a log fire, and a restaurant area are complemented by a suntrap patio and a raised lawn. Food, served lunchtimes and evenings (Sunday lunchtime only), is sourced locally, including good mussels, and the many specials are changed daily. Beer festivals are held at the end of May, in August, on bonfire night in November, and there are regular themed nights. The pub opens at 8am for breakfast (from 11am for drinks). May close earlier on Sundays in winter.
