A sprawling, labyrinthine landmark pub dating from 1665 with mainly 18th and 19th century extensions. The opened-up interior offers distinct drinking areas, with more comfortable furnishings through to the left where the domed room has a whispering gallery effect to rival that of St Paul’s Cathedral. The pub has a sporty feeling and regularly hosts teams from the neighboring common. Rugby is a particular pub favourite. The Burger Shack outside opens in summer. Quiz night is Sunday. The premises include a 42-bedroom, three-star hotel.
