Manor
The Basic Bar is a charming establishment featuring a snug room with a large fireplace, which interestingly has an Aunt Sally doll and stick embedded in the chimney piece. The room is further warmed by a wood-burning fire. In addition to this, there is a lounge area that houses a fish tank, adding to the unique ambiance of the place. The property also boasts an expansive garden. In the summer of 2019, the bar was put up for sale. A local community group showed interest but was unfortunately outbid. By August 2020, the property was acquired by a real estate company. The new owners assured that they would maintain the property's function as a pub. Throughout the latter half of 2021, the property underwent several planning applications and refurbishments. The Basic Bar has since reopened, now operating as a restaurant and cocktail bar. The new owners have managed to preserve the original charm of the place while introducing a fresh dining and cocktail experience.
