The Robin Hood and Little John, a family owned pub and restaurant dating back to the 16th Century.

Bought by David and Fiona, the pub has recently undergone refurbishment and opened in July 2024. Open Tuesday to Sunday from 12 noon.

David and Fiona are keen to keep the traditional country pub but also incorporate some amazing home-cooked dishes created from the finest local ingredients.

    Staff were friendly and helpful, food a good quality but quantity on the Sunday roast a little excessive but very tasty. There was a good selection of beers. However the toilet in the main restaurant area, which is shared male/female with baby changing space and handicapped access was in an unhealthy condition as was the male toilet off the bar room with paper towels all over the floor. We would like to return but the sanitary conditions were intolerable. In this day and age one would anticipate regular checking and regular cleaning throughout opening hours. However this needs to be done by those other than the front of house staff and servers. Shame as otherwise the place has some charm.
