Hatchet

This charming, family-operated village pub, featuring a split-level, single-bar layout, has recently reopened after an extended period of closure. The landlord is renowned for his dedication to serving cask ale, a testament to the pub's commitment to quality. The establishment is a hub for various village teams, fostering a sense of community and camaraderie. Families are also catered for, with a spacious garden that includes children's climbing frames, providing a safe and fun environment for the younger patrons. The pub's excellence has not gone unnoticed, as it was highly commended in the 2000 Branch Pub of the Year contest, won the 2003 Branch Pub of the Year award, and was a close second in the Southern Region contest. This welcoming and well-regarded establishment is a testament to the spirit of the village and the dedication of its proprietors.
