Standing right adjacent to the original packhorse trail, and once a weighbridge and freehouse, the inn dates back to the 17th Century. It's a scene well set from the past, horse drawn vehicles queuing up to be weighed and a packed freehouse, with horsemen stopping by for a drink. The interior is everything you would expect to find in a proper English pub; cosy rooms with stone walls, beams, flag floors, long wooden tables and low ceiling.

Using local seasonal produce as the base, the menu is balanced between traditional and modern British. 2-in-1 pies that are half filled with cauliflower cheese and half with your choice of fillings such as steak and mushroom or chicken, ham and leek, is a good way to begin. Follow that with either grilled trout, rich beef lasagne or sirloin steak.

Excellent real ales and fine wines are on hand to enjoy, along with a breath of tradition at the Weighbridge Inn.
