After closing for 2 weeks for an interior refurb the pub now has a fresh and clean new look. The creation of a proper snug is part of the change and is available for private hire for small gatherings or family occasions. The rear barn has also undergone refurbishment and is now a wonderful room dating back to the 15th Century with oak beams and flagstone floor folding doors open out on to the rear courtyard and river Stour beyond. The barn forms part of the restaurant but can also be made available for small functions and parties of up to 20 - 25 people.

Nice return to Updown on what might have been a quiet night. Good number of diners in but staff were struggling to keep up. The team did excellently and the food was lovely. The anchovie toast was desperately salty but I guess that's what I signed up for.
