About the Pub
Opened in 1860 as the Steam Engine and owned by Charles Wells during 20th century, until bought as a freehouse in 2001 and renamed the Vicars Inn. This traditional two bar layout, plus a function room and enclosed garden is popular with older clientele. Located a few minutes walk from the railway station, it offers good value Eagle IPA plus an ever changing low gravity guest ale. The front bar has some local historical pictures and is popular with dominoes and cribbage teams. There is a strong tie to the community via local events and charitable work.
