The menu is solid. Think classic pub grub: pie, mash, and chips that are actually crispy. But the vibe is what sells it. You’ll find old chess players arguing next to young couples on a first date.
Want weird trivia? The pub was a key location for the filming of a cult British TV show. A scene with a chase through the garden was shot right here. You can stand where the actors ran.
And the garden itself? It’s a secret oasis. Tucked behind the main building, it’s full of fairy lights and mismatched benches. Perfect for pretending you’re in a cozy English rom-com.
The Jam Jar Trick
Here’s a quirky detail: the pub has a collection of old jam jars behind the bar. They’re not for sale. They’re just sitting there, full of mystery. No one knows why.
Some say they’re 1950s beer glass prototypes. Others insist they’re spell containers from a local witch. I say they’re the best conversation starter ever. Ask a bartender about them. They love a good yarn.
This pub doesn’t try to be cool. It just is. It’s old, dusty, and full of awkward corners. And that’s exactly why it’s magical.
