About us

The history of The Sovereign goes back over 160 years to the reign of King George IV when a local entrepreneur, Seth Senior built a brewery on the site in 1829. Legend has it the business was started with a borrowed sovereign and many believe that in commemoration of its origins, a gold coin is still buried somewhere on the premises.

A country pub oozing rural charm and rustic character, our picturesque surroundings provide the perfect backdrop for savouring the hearty, seasonal pub-food on our menu, and the carefully nurtured cask ales and fine wines gracing our bar.

Whether you are planning dinner with friends or Sunday lunch with family, book a table online and enjoy some quality time with those you love the most.

Our absolute favourite place to go. Such a brilliant pub. Great food, drinks and ambience. Big thank you to Claire one of the staff there who was really good last time we went. Look forward to going again soon.

We had a family get together. The atmosphere was relaxed and the staff were welcoming and friendly. Service was quick and the food was superb. Nothing was too much trouble and Charlotte who was new to the position was amazing. The order was correct. So we're the drinks and dessert. Nothing was too much trouble and Charlotte made our night feel extra special.

Very pleasant, well decorated rooms with a warm welcome. A varied menu including a choice of items for vegetarians and vegans. Portion sizes were appropriate (not too big, not too small) and the service was cheerful, polite and genuinely pleased to serve you. The junior waiter got our hot drinks order wrong, but it was all sorted out quickly and without fuss. Prices were a little on the high side, but not extortionate.

Great menu with lots of choice, lovely food as always, atmosphere and lovely log fire on a cold day. Lovely to see three vegan desserts (great for me as I am allergic to eggs) some restaurants don't have any. The fruit crumble and vegan custard was divine.
