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

Lively village pub with a comfortable bar area and a restaurant extension with good value meals. It hosts several groups, including custom cars, cycling, and an investment group. There are also regular quiz evenings, open mic nights and charity race nights. Popular with walkers. Large car park. Beer festivals are held on Whitsun Saturday and August Bank Holiday Saturday. May close early if quiet. Now owned by a local vineyard. A wine and farm shop is planned as well as a separate restaurant area but no other changes. Boasts an eclectic mix of former customers, including Will Hay, Diana Dors and Bob Marley. Research has not yet revealed whether they were all present at the same time! Re-named and relaunched in 2024 with new local operators Silverhand Estate, a local Luddesdown vineyard.
