Independently owned and run Grade II listed pub dating from 1625. Friendly and welcoming, and very much at the heart of the village. The guest beer is quite often from a smaller west country brewer. It was once the village blacksmith and is a warren of small rooms with stone walls and low beams. During WW2 It was used by American GI's from local bases as a dance hall. It once had its own brewery, the Ash Vine, out at the back. It moved, around 25 years, or so, ago, up to Frome but closed in 2000.
