Stone-built pub with a slate roof, this pleasant village, country pub welcomes both locals and visitors from further afield. Rescued from closure by community purchase, the old Grade II building houses a long narrow bar with high stools and - past the real fire - tables, chairs and settees at the far end. A further room behind the bar provides tables and chairs for dining, sometimes from their kitchen or from the regular food vans. The bar has four hand pumps, offering the house ale as a regular (XT4) and a rotating selection of three guest beers, usually from eight local breweries, plus some 'national' favourites; there is a fifth pump offering Saxby Ciders. The ales currently being served and those "coming soon" can be viewed via their website. Local independent food vans and pop-ups visit usually three times a week.The Village Kitchen, Emberton now operates the pub's kitchen and offers fortnightly Sunday lunches, plus other times, such as Saturday breakfasts and basket meals on Open Mic night. See Event list on website or Facebook page for details. Large rear patio with ample seating and the garden area beyond has children's play equipment. Aside from a small, hard-to-enter car park, parking is on the street.
