From the outside this is an unassuming country pub — walk inside and you will think you have entered an RAF museum.

"The pub is not old, but as you step over the threshold you step back in time. It is as though you have entered a very old pub during the Second World War.
In the entrance porch, WWII relics either side. Walk in, and an airman’s jacket and scarf hanging up.
In one bar, a Lancaster bomber instrument panel (not a Lancaster cockpit as has been reported elsewhere). Original maps of the Dambuster raid, photos of dams before and after, logbook for Guy Gibson (replica not original), flying gear behind a glass, framed old newspapers, on a wall display of medals and who awarded to (a pity no guide to what the medals were or what awarded for), an open fire.
The pub is very much a small museum with a very enthusiastic landlord maintaining it. Clearly a labour of love.
A good choice of local real ales on the bar, and Anzac biscuits and Dambuster cheese."
