Looking a bit unloved, the apparently once-popular pub and restaurant is now closed and empty. A Facebook message from the last licensees indicates that the premises closed on 20 December 2012 because 'due to the economic climate maintaining the business is no longer viable'. If it isn't torched first it may become a dwelling house. The B4000, also called Station Road, can be seen as it leads north towards Shrivenham.
