Lovely helpful lady at the bar and the place is spotless.
We came as we was hoping to get chips at the chippy then buy a drink at the pub and eat the chips there (as was told you can do this which the lady in the pub then confirmed), but the chippy doesn't open at lunchtime!
We bought a drink just so we could use the toilets as only fair, but the lady was so helpful and lovely and the place has such a nice atmosphere and is spotlessly clean everywhere plus dog friendly, we decided to buy a snack as well. On a Friday they have a coffee/cake club but it's open to everyone so we had delishes scones and crisps and sat on the green watching the world go by for a bit!
Will definitely go back.
Just check opening times as it's not a place that is open all the time

The pub has recently been taken over by new owners and has since improved massively. Clean and tasty beer, good look and feel to the pub and a very friendly atmosphere!

This pub has gone through various iterations during my time in the village: it was always our post-Pantomime stop years ago. I'm happy that is now a friendly family-run local again.
Claire and Chris took it on last Spring and have been building up it's profile. They host darts, gigs and the local Braunston Bakes are there once a month on a Saturday morning.
With no kitchen (at the moment?) they work generously with the nearby chippie and are happy for you to eat your meal whilst enjoying a pint.

Called for a pint and was made to feel most unwelcome, thought I would try a pint anyway and was served the most rancid Pedigree I have ever had the misfortune to taste ! I All other were off and it appeared the landlady could not be bothered to change them, instead spent her time sitting on a stool doodling. Very poor not recommended.

I used t visit here a few times a week. t was never the cleanest of places, but it had a good atmosphere, and staff were freindly. The new landlord took over a few years ago, and I`ve only been in 3 times since, and only for convenience. Never made to feel welcome, landlord is most miderable person I have ever met, beer is bad, and they have now even stopped serving food. Avoid!

New landlord and lady Chris and Claire are breathing fresh air into this old village favourite - as always, Chris keeps a good cellar and a welcoming smile behind the bar.

I had such a brilliant night. I thought it was a quiet country pub. But I came on a night when a band was on. The Sirens. The place was packed and the atmosphere was amazing. I danced most of the night. Along with everyone else. Toilets and the pub itself clean and tidy. Staff were all super lovely. Will definitely be coming back.
