Now closed. The only pub in the village of Upper Welland. Used to be a well renowned restaurant. Built, as were most of the houses in the village, on land that had been part of Lower Assart or Assarts Common. The common land was enclosed after the 1851 Welland Inclosure Act which stipulated how each new field boundary must be planted with hawthorn hedges. It is thought that that is how the Inn got its name.
