The Ale House is a proper pub, offering well-kept beer, proper pub food and a warm welcome. Established in 2012 we are a traditional Local Free House, a social meeting room, selling quality ales, wines & lagers and locally sourced food. As a traditional pub, beer is the main ingredient, but homemade food is also served 7 days a week. With a choice of sandwiches or main meals, all our food is prepared and made on site.

We welcome dogs, ramblers & cyclists - and also anyone who fancies some friendly faces on arrival.

No games machines, no pool table and no cordon bleu food menu to distract the taste buds - chat’s the thing here - or perhaps a relaxing newspaper read, cribbage, dominoes, backgammon or shove halfpenny. The distinctive artwork is provided by local artists, music is normally available on Friday or Saturday nights and The Sado-Masochistic Quiz stretches all on a Sunday night.

Behind the bar you will find our lovely bar staff always ready to pour you a perfect pint or good glass of wine.

The Ale House is a free house offering a selection of ten British Ales. These include Burning Sky from Firle in Sussex, Tiley’s just down the road in Ham, Electric Bear from the City of Bath & Siren Craft from Finchampstead in Berkshire and an ever changing range of guest ales from across the UK. Our ales come is ALL sizes - we serve in thirds, halves and an obscure, ancient measurement unit known as ‘pints’! You can even buy a tasting board of three thirds for no more than the dearest pint.

We offer two fantastic lagers, poured to perfection, including the original Czech premium lager Budweiser Budvar and Dortmunder Union Vier brewed in strict accordance with the ‘Reinheitsgebot’ or Purity Order.

If that’s not your flavour we also offer Draught Cider and Draught Perry as a selection of spirits and mixers. A short but carefully chosen wine list is also available with some great tasting everyday reds, whites and rose - all available by the glass or bottle.
