A free house with well-kept ales, home-cooked food on Fridays and Saturdays, and a warm welcome for walkers, families and dogs alike.
Fuller's London Pride is always on, joined by two rotating guest ales chosen by the landlord. Pull up a stool by the log-burner, or take a pint out to the garden.
A full 90-minute set from Frets and Strings — a local acoustic collective known for quirky, reimagined versions of hits spanning the 60s to today.
A large enclosed beer garden with a children's play area and the Aunt Sally pitch. Dogs are welcome inside and out — water bowls provided. Moorings nearby if you're arriving by canal.
