A pretty country pub, about a mile north from Ripley village. It is situated in attractive countryside and is a pleasant diversion from a walk along the Wey Navigation. The ruins of Newark Priory, dating from the 12th Century, lie just down the road. Good quality food is served in the bar, or you can dine alfresco in covered booths outside; Sunday lunch is especially popular. A number of meal deals are offered including Burger Monday, Steak Thursday and Fish Friday. There is also plenty more outside seating in the garden and a bicycle rack is provided. Real ales are offered at a reduced price 3-6pm Monday to Friday.

The pub itself is a 1930's style wood-panelled brick building with wooden floors and 3 booths immediately inside the front door leading onto a u-shaped bar. There is lots of local memorabilia doted around the walls and nooks and crannies with gas fires with fake coal in the fireplaces which look quite effective in the winter.
