English country pub with an unspoilt interior serving cask ale. Really good experience. A range of baguettes are served that are excellent value, but only at lunch time.

The good reviews led us to this pub after a very long muddy walk at Pamber Forest with my dog and a friend. Unfortunately we did not feel welcome, it didn’t feel warm. It felt snubby like “local pub for local people”. It was quiet when we came around ~13:50 on a saturday afternoon. I asked if they are serving lunch, i was told they stopped serving food at 2.. (checked my watch and it was only less than 10min to two). We were also told they only accept cash. It would help if they put somehere in the details to say only accepts cash. I would have gone with cash in hand! Overall, just very disappointed…the lady behind the bar came across like she did not want to serve us. We were desparate for drinks or just water as we were walking for ~10kms and got lost in the way just to get to this pub. Shame.

Lovely pub, we have been visiting for years. Terry is so welcoming, a great selection of ales (and gins!) each time we've visited. The baguettes are always filled to the brim. Can't speak highly enough of this pub
