Rescued from almost certain oblivion by Everard's Brewery in the summer of 2014, this was formerly a struggling Punch leasehold that had seen no investment for decades. The brewery has invested a lot of time and money in transforming the place from a run down tatty pub into a classic village local. The thatched building itself must be one of the oldest in the village and probably dates back to the 17th century. It retains two bars, and the former public on the left has been restyled into a comfy snug. The L-shaped main bar on the right has very low ceilings (so beware!), leading to another very comfortably furnished room on an upper level, with access to the extensive patio garden and smoking area. Fortunately, this pub was spared much of the internal structural devastation wreaked during that period. New tenants Adrian and Tracey took over in November 2023 and it is good to note that the pub remains very much involved in the local community with quiz nights on Sunday, Bingo nights on Tuesday, plus chess, cribbage and board games all available to play. Darts and Northamptonshire Skittles can be played in a raised area off the snug. Tiger is the mainstay ale but is normally accompanied by two rotating guests from the Everards portfolio and often includes a beer from the Brunswick Brewery in Derby. Food available Thursday - Sunday.
