  • Cask Marque real ales

Welcome

Real ales, a real fire and a real welcome

Step through the door and you'll find a country pub done properly. We've been refurbished top to bottom, but we've kept the things that matter.

We pour Cask Marque-accredited real ales and cook everything from scratch, with a menu that takes pub favourites and gives them a twist. Bring the family, bring the dog, pull up a chair in the garden.

More about the pub

Inside The Cottage of Content - the bar with its beams, stools and a fire lit at the end of the room.

On the menu

Pub food with a twist, cooked from scratch

Pub classics and winter warmers cooked from scratch, a vegetarian section that is more than an afterthought, and a Sunday roast that goes fast - plus two-for-£25 offers running every week.

Classics, with a twist

Beer-battered fish, steak & ale pie, local faggots and a slow-cooked beef brisket cottage pie. The food you want when it is cold out.

See the menu

Sunday roasts worth booking

Beef, turkey, pork or a nut roast, all with duck-fat roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding and a proper gravy. Get your name down early.

See the menu

Two for £25

Two fish & chips every Friday, and two curries with rice, naan & chutney any day of the week - or two curries and a bottle of wine for £35.

On site

Pitch up and stay a while

Our 24-pitch campsite sits in the field right behind the pub, with electric hook-up on every pitch, hot showers and everything you need for a proper stay.

The river's a short walk for an evening stroll, and the pub is close enough that you'll never be far from a pint or a Sunday roast.

  • Electric hook-up, hot showers and a washing machine
  • Dog-friendly pitches, with a fire pit and BBQ area
  • Wifi, fishing and river walks on the doorstep
