Tucked into the village of Lockeridge, this is the kind of pub where a cold walk ends well — a wood fire going, a book exchange by the door, and a proper play area out the back that buys you an extra half hour with your coffee. There's a garden and plenty of free parking, so arriving with a pram and a car full of kit isn't a battle. Portions are generous and piping hot; the bread for the sandwiches is made on site, jacket potatoes and sandwiches keep smaller appetites happy, and the Sunday roast has a following. Staff are warm with families and don't rush you out. Worth knowing: it can run understaffed at quiet weekday lunchtimes, and a few have found the burgers pricey for what arrives.
