A historic pub – the one remaining Ridley Pub owned by the Ridley family of brewers. Recent renovations have respected the historic character of the pub whilst adding more room for community events and gatherings. The selection of beer – predominantly ales with some lagers/craft beer and some ciders is exemplary. This is a true country pub, surrounded by fields and nearby villages – a real escape from the hubbub of modern life. It has a huge garden as well as rooms to stay in – catering for visitors and those who have come from afar.
They are famous for their Huffers, which are huge sandwiches with a variety of hot or cold fillings – as described by them: Traditionally a Huffer used to be half a loaf of bread that the men working on the fields would take each day, stuffed with a selection of fillings.
Try one – you won’t regret it!
