After a search of www can do no better than quote from http://plantaliscious.janetbruten.co.uk/2011/03/wickwar-late-winter-walk/ "Turning my back on the view my route takes me up to the High Street, and the local pub. Yes, I live in stumbling distance of it! A sign of the times, it now offers free WiFi alongside the locally brewed ales and home cooked food. The pub was recently taken over after a long period of caretaker landlords, and the new owners are very committed to making the pub the centre of village life again. They are running all sorts of activities, including exercise classes and during half term a children’s cinema. We thought we were going to lose the pub altogether, so we are thrilled to have such enthusiastic people in charge of it. The name comes from the nearby Buthay or archery practice ground, where the archery Butts were."
