This picturesque rural gem dates back to the 14th century, when it was built
to house the builders of St Andrews church spire. It still maintains rustic
charm and hosts original features of a thatched roof, beams, large
fireplaces and flagstone floors.
Now in the heart of the Ernest Cook Trust estate that surrounds Trent
village, it is steeped in history. King Charles the 2nd hid at Trent House,
the home of Colonel Francis Wyndham, for several days whilst attempting to
escape to France.
The pub was brought to its prime in more recent years with the infamous
landlord 'Buff Biggins' and his legend still lives in the pub now.
There is a choice of alfresco dining in the beer garden or just outside the
front of the pub. The Barrow lounge is now a wonderful relaxing area of the
pub with a large open fire and comfortable leather sofa. The restaurant has
wonderful views out over the valley and the far end of the main bar looks
out over the fields and all the way to Nether Compton.
