  “The Puzzle is a community pub with an unbeatable atmosphere. For a small pub — it's reputation is mighty. It's a place where everyone is welcome. This 17th‑century pub is home to some exceptional live music; you're likely to discover some great bands long before anyone else! But it doesn't cater solely for up-and-coming bands... Recently, Chris Martin from Coldplay cycled along (literally) to the venue to play an impromptu gig. Why? Simply because he'd heard how amazing it is. He wasn't disappointed. I almost forgot to mention that it also serves great beer! The Puzzle is home to some excellent local ales and rotating guest taps. The bar is always well stocked with some well‑kept cask beers. The staff are super-knowledgeable and care about what they pour. The Puzzle also produces some unexpectedly tasty food, too!! Should you find yourself sat in the beer garden, lit by twinkly faerie-lights, surrounded by all this wonderment you'll understand why so many regard The Puzzle as their local — even when, like me, they live many miles away from the place. Call in for a pint. Bring your partner. Bring your partners dog and just breathe it in. Your soul will thank you for it.”

  “I used to frequent the puzzle a few years ago and called in to see it still going strong. A fantastic place for live music and a cracking pint to boot. Well worth a visit especially for the live gigs. They do not serve food though just the usual pub snacks.”

  “The Puzzle is like your favourite pair of jeans: comfortable, familiar, feels so good you keep returning to it. With the live music often being pay-as-you-feel, it's a brilliant spot for discovering new / local artists. Super friendly atmosphere, great selection of beers, and stages both indoors and out. Such a gem of a venue.”

  “Went to a gig, Dead Belgian. Great band, the venue is small, intimate is probably what they say. Beer was outstanding at good prices. Friendly staff, bohemian good natured audience.”

  “Jump in a time machine as you enter this absolute gem in a mysterious, hidden valley! Proper beer, proper furniture, proper people, poignant energy, real values... And somehow, it's also an amazing music venue! Intimate without ever feeling claustrophobic, the attention to detail is meticulous with superb sound and perfectly balanced lighting, this traditional pub transforms into a gig spotlight while retaining the pub feel... Alleviate the anxieties of life when you slip into the rare moment of true escapism...”

  “Called here for a drink Saturday afternoon, a bit off the beaten track. a five minute walk out of the town center. The focus here is on live music, but also caters for the real ale fan, with well kept cask ales served in this lovely old building +outside seating and stage for live events. Check it out. 👍”
