This pub is allegedly the inspiration for Robert Louis Stevenson's fictional Spyglass Inn, from his novel "Treasure Island" - look out for the spy-holes, which were used to watch for press-gangs, who were out to capture men and force them into a life at sea! Part of the M&B Village Pub and Kitchen chain, who specialize in traditional pub-food, you can either get bar snacks or visit the restaurant upstairs and sample the brand new spring and summer menu. The large beer garden at the front gets busy on a sunny day and it's popular with business people in the day and a real mix in the evenings.
