The Snakecatcher

Just over the road from The Forester’s Arms, and named for local celebrity Brusher Mills.

Outside for some reason led us to expect less, but inside there’s a tidy gastropub interior, fairly traditional but clearly not that old.

Good food, a step above average pub food. Ale on offer, friendly staff. Normally there’s be a good AF choice but all except the gin was sold out..

Traditional village pub, nearest to our holiday property and close to the station. We were staying very nearby, and dropped in for tea with a friend. The bar was noisy and crowded, but the lounge was quiet and relaxed, though it did busy up later. I’d guess that at peak times this could get very busy.

Really helpful, friendly barman, decent beer on offer including an AF on draught, decent food, and a nice atmosphere.
