COUNTRY GEM

The Squirrel is a true traditional tap house that holds an abundance of nostalgia and history in the village. With original sash windows and log burner, the country character and strong cricket memorabilia clearly shows the cherished history of centuries past.

GARDEN RETREAT

No matter the season, immerse yourself in a relaxing oasis in any one of our alfresco dining areas. Our patio area, surrounded with planters bursting with wild greenery and colourful flowers is the perfect sun trap to share bar snacks with friends. Or fill up a garden bench on the lawn with the whole family and entertain into the evening as the children explore the play area.

Watch the bails fly and never miss a second of the action at the crease, with our own outside bar and pizza oven on the front patio. With plenty of tranquil spots to unwind and create memories, we will always provide the perfect tipple.

DOGS WELCOME

Whether you’re soaking up the sun in our garden, or snuggled by the bar inside, you can do it all with man’s best friend by your side after a long walk.

We need your help - hospitality needs your help! Hospitality is one of the UK’s greatest success stories, it employs millions of people, give youngsters their first jobs, keeps the high streets alive and not forgetting bringing communities, villages and towns alike together… socially, business meetings, family events - all usually start with hospitality! So from July 1st the industry - pubs, clubs, cafes, restaurants, hotels and so many more is coming together to launch “VAT’s the Problem” - a campaign calling for hospitality VAT to be reduced to 10% from 20%. This campaign isn’t just about one thing it’s about everyone - our customers, our staff, kitchen porters, suppliers, brewery’s and producer of quality food. The more pubs, cafes and so on that close - everyone suffers. It has a huge knock on effect. Buildings let empty and rotting, employment suffering, businesses going bust due to no supply. Please sign the petition and let’s make some changes! Thank you all for your support! The Squirrel Team (and I’m sure all pubs locally to us all) Sign here via
