This pub reopened as a 'Grumpy Mole' on 14 November 2012 and specialises in its restaurant menu. Space for non-diners may be limited. The building dates to the 19th century, and was owned in the 1930s by Hoare & Co, a brewery which was acquired by Charringtons. The adjacent 'Bell Cottages' were older, suggesting that an earlier pub may have existed on the site.
