A low ceilinged, long pub probably dating from the late 18th century in part. As its name suggests, it is situated opposite the parish church. It was formerly a NBC pub and passed into the ownership of Watney Mann, when most of the interior "renovations" were executed. As a result, it is now a single bar pub in an semi-open plan style with several eating and drinking areas tucked away behind pillars and the supporting walls. The pub has had several ups and downs over recent years and has on occasions ended up being closed for periods of time. However, the new, enthusiastic manager, Haydn reopened the pub on 7/11/2017, and the omens are looking a lot more favourable! Food is available every day with Mondays designated the "Burger Night" and Sunday Roasts are proving very popular. The two regular beers are nationally sourced brands from the Heineken "Star" Pubs portfolio but Haydn hopes to have a third beer available from time to time.
