Reviews for Ye Olde Man & Scythe
Friendly and ancient pub with a fascinating history and a lively present! Adored excellent hot local Carr's pasties being for sale at the bar. Good cider, well priced and cosy without being gentrified. Love reading all the historical snippets about the place but no sign of the reputed ghosts... The events they have on look good as well-we need more pubs like this!

What a perfect little pub. As you'd expect a very warm and friendly place with excellent beer, service, and an atmosphere so chilled it kept my beer cool.Not to mention the history..... apparently Britain's 4th oldest pub and that's how it feels, only extremely clean and perfectly set up. A rare dream of a pub.
