Tellingly there is little staff turnover and Kevin's enthusiasm for the business is infectious, "We have tried to make it a bit more heart of the community - it's a place you can come and have a really good pint of local beer, or you can have a fillet steak and a bottle of fine wine".

A little further up the hill is the 13th century parish church of St Mary's where Alfred Lord Tennyson was married.
