It does look interesting from the outside and I was expecting a very special interior but have to confess that I was a little disappointed: it was really quite ordinary! It was however warm which, after watching a cricket match in the freezing cold, was most welcome!!

Yes, many pubs make a special effort with the outside - to attract passing trade I expect. Glad it was warm.

It's a shame that the interior of this one doesn't live up to the exterior: it's in a lovely little village with the cricket pitch right opposite and a church just up the road but it just hasn't the atmosphere!

I reckon that´s the landlord/landlady - some of them have the gift of hospitality but others just can´t make happen.

Perfectly situated opposite the cricket ground where my husband was playing cricket! Although the match was not the most riveting, I did not succumb to the pleasures of 'The Local'!!

Although I know how to handcraft ale and stout, I am not one to drink often. In my younger days, I was not so careful.

And there's a cricket pitch across the road - what could be better?: I go for a drink whilst hubby plays cricket!!

Thank you so much. Many of our village pubs have similar architectural features.

Indeed and, even better, it's right over the road from the cricket pitch! Ideal when there's not a lot happening in the match!
