The Cavendish Arms is at the heart of this attractive village, opposite the 13th century church. It is believed to have been converted from an earlier manor house. The Cavendish name links the pub to the Cavendish family and the Dukes of Devonshire who owned the local estate. The historical links continue with impressive stained glass commemorating the Battle of Brunenburth, which may have been fought near the village in 937 in which the Anglo Saxon King Athelstan defeated Viking invaders. There is a small tap room on the left as you enter and also the larger main bar area with a further room beyond largely set out for dining. To the right an impressive new orangery was added in 2020 which opens out on to the pleasant garden. Beers come from the Marston's range. Dogs allowed in one room only to the right on entry.
