30 years ago this was a fashionable pub, often standing room only, with an excellent reputation for food. Not any more, but there are two gastro-pubs within a mile to the west, and another five within a mile to the east. Which is quite surprising when you see how few houses there are hereabouts. 100-300 years ago there must have been a lot of thirsty travellers. This is a windy spot. That windmill has blown over completely once in the last 18 months, and suffered a badly distorted propeller blade and motor casing quite recently.
