Becoming a Free House in 2023, this is a fine old fashioned family run country pub, dating back to 1932, in a peaceful rural setting: it has a good sized garden and a petanque piste. Inside the walls and ceilings are festooned with china plates and jugs etc. Darts played here. The pub is named after the Baptist preacher and author of The Pilgrim's Progress. (b. 1628; d. 1688). He is believed to have stayed at a house nearby on his travels - the remains of which are just a few yards from the pub. There's a good competitively priced menu and a roaring fire in winter; each day there is a specials board featuring dishes distinctively prepared by the landlady. Newly added Gluten free menu. The pub also welcomes walkers; if for example you arrange to start your walk at the pub, the landlord will allow you to use the facilities and take your food order; if you then call him 10 minutes before you arrive back, he will ensure your food is ready and waiting. Friendly and well-behaved dogs are very welcome in both the pub and the garden. NOTE: From May to the end of September the pub opens all day on Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays.
