Pre walk beer on a cloudy February Saturday lunchtime.A few in with their dogs. A cracking village pub.Alas, no Harvey's Old.

The second stop on the mini tour. We had pre ordered lunch here and they had kept the kitchen open especially to cater for us. Most lunchtime customers had moved on so we almost had the place to ourselves.

Late afternoon visit, raining hard and all is quiet here. Lovely old Harvey's pub, lots of old pictures of Harvey's pubs noted.

Very pretty pub. The interior combines benches with wooden tables and chairs. The pub is L-shaped with the bar following the L. The garden at the back was very peaceful with only the sound of birds and the occasional jumbo jet in the distance. Good pub.
