Parts of this pub are said to be 15th century and form one of the wings when it was rebuilt in the 17th century. It is a heavily beamed hostelry which was once a Benskins House and later Ind Coope. Although there is only one bar, there are many discrete areas in which to lose oneself and possibly enjoy Thai food in the evenings. Quiz night Wednesdays and Sundays.

Bought by Harmans in 1865. Effectively a two-bar establishment on the eastern fringe of the village. The pub attracts a predominantly local trade, including refugees from the nearby football and cricket fields, so unsurprisingly it is the meeting place for various sports clubs. Dalmatian dog miniatures feature within, as do lined glasses. An intensively bedecked patio supports impressive floral display.
