The summer months at The Piddle Inn...

A wonderful place to get away any time of year but during the summer months The Piddle Inn and surrounding village really comes to life.

The sunny riverside patio is a perfect place to enjoy a relaxing pint of one of our local Cask Marque ales, served straight from the barrel or a glass of wine from our extensive, handpicked wine list.

Our bright, open plan bar is a lively place to be, well used by the locals which all contributes to the family run, friendly feel of The Piddle Inn.
