The Little John runs a quiz, shows live sport on screens in the bar, and serves a carvery every Sunday from noon until 8pm. The function room can be booked for groups of up to 35. For dated events, the quickest source is our Facebook page or a call to the bar on 01433 650225.
Most of what happens here is not an event. It is a Tuesday with the fire lit, a Saturday with the football on, a Sunday that starts at noon and does not really stop. That is what a local is, and we would rather do that well than fill a calendar for the sake of it.
The regulars
What happens most weeks
Dates for one-off events go up on Facebook. These are the fixtures.
Sunday carvery
Every Sunday, noon until 8pm, £16.95. Locally reared meats, Yorkshire puddings and all the trimmings. The busiest service of our week, and it does sell out.
The Sunday menu
Quiz night
A proper pub quiz with a proper pub prize. Nights move with the season, so check Facebook or ask at the bar for the next one.
Live sport
Screens in the bar for the big games, at a volume that still lets the rest of the room talk. Darts and pool carry on regardless.
Through the year
Seasons rather than a calendar
The menus change with what the valley is producing, so spring and autumn look different on the plate. The fire goes on around October and stays lit until it is genuinely not needed.
December is the exception: a festive menu, party bookings in the function room, and a village that turns out. Worth booking early rather than hopefully.
Asked often
What's on
Do you show live sport?
Yes. There are screens in the bar for the big games, kept at a volume that still lets the rest of the room have a conversation.
Is there a quiz night?
Yes, the pub runs a quiz. Nights can move with the season, so check our Facebook page or call the bar on 01433 650225 for the next one.
Do you do anything special at Christmas?
Yes. The kitchen puts on a festive menu and the function room takes party bookings from the autumn onwards. It is worth booking early, as December fills quickly.
How do I find out what is coming up?
This page carries the regular fixtures. For dated events, the quickest source is our Facebook page, or call the bar and ask.
Can I book the pub for my own event?
Yes. There is a refurbished function room for up to 35 people, used for birthdays, wakes and christenings.
