Open
mainly in the summer months with a delightful open rear seating area
with lots of nooks and crannies. Inside as you would expect is abundant
with beams and amazing decor of artifacts. Often visited by morris
dancers and various musicians who play jolly good music at free for all
sessions. Good real ales can be had (no lager here) Timothy Taylor, Harveys, Shepherd-Neame and of course Springer Best from the micro
brewery to name but a few. In traditional style, cheese
and ham rolls are often available. |

To the
rear of the pub is an old garage and forecourt, now integrated
in the pub but still retaining its old features including a
1920s petrol pump, even some vintage cars. At time vintage car
clubs meet here.
Dogs of course are very welcome,
there is always a water bowl and doggie treats. |

This old building has
interesting features including arched lattice windows, but one notable is the bell
tower. It is thought that the building was a school in the 19thc the
bell strangely from Ohio, USA dates from 1886. It may be that in earlier
times the Serpent may have previously been a brewery and pub servicing
the old coaching route it is on. |
