NOTE: Real Ale may not always be available at this pub, especially in the winter months. This original coaching inn still retains its character, with yard and stables at the rear now used as an outside drinking area (where children are welcome). The two bar areas (offering one or two guest ales) still have gas lights for illumination. The inn was once used as an overnight stop for prisoners on their way to Australia. No meals, but snacks can be obtained all day.
