Open for breakfast from 9am and licensed from 10am with home-cooked food available. Licensed since 1695 and the second oldest pub in Thornbury, this friendly, traditional inn serves several changing beers, all served on handpump. There are two large rooms, one of which has been split to provide a function/meeting area and is used by local artists. Dogs welcome in the public bar, which was the original pub. The pub also has its own cribbage and cricket teams, and there is quiz night on Sundays. The garden includes a boules piste and children's play area. The pub may sometimes close earlier than advertised. Under new management from December 2023.
