Reopened under new management in September 2023, with food service starting from 8 November. The Crooked Billet was built as a farmhouse in the 1600's, using the wood from a sailing ship. The farmer served ale to farmworkers. In the 1700's it evolved into a village pub and a brewhouse was added in the 1800s, but its use ended long ago. This thatched pub was refurbished in 2021-22, but remains warm & inviting with a relaxing atmosphere. The bar has four hand pumps offering two regular beers and two regularly changing beers, plus lagers and Beavertown from Greene King lists; traditional pub food available and there are regular food vans or "specials" nights. The large beer garden includes a marquee, which can be booked for private events, as can a designated area of the restaurant. Check on-line for coming events.
