Cosy Up at The Gun Inn - Great Food, Great beers, Great Company

Ownership and management

The Grade II listed pub was acquired in late 2020 by local resident Chris Cecil-Wright, who runs an established superyacht brokerage based in London, and is managed by local business partners Peter Troup and James Gedge of Pelican Taverns. The Gun remains as it always has been - very much a centre of the community as a village pub.

The garden area features a large covered tent which can accommodate up to 60 people with a further 60 seats available outside.

The kitchen team is led by excellent head chef Mark Young, formerly at the helm of the Bell Inn at Bramshaw who says: “I already have good relationships with lots of local producers and I hope to build lots more. The menu will be regularly evolved to feature the freshest local food, and almost everything on the menu will be cooked on the outside grill. We will be catering for a broad cross-section of customers and we want to make sure no one is alienated, so our menu will be accessible to walkers and cyclists who just want a quick bite to eat and those who want spend a bit more for a substantial meal.”

Peter said: “We are anxious to make sure everyone is happy with how we develop the pub in the long term so we have already engaged a conservation consultant and we will be working with local people to come up with a sympathetic design which preserves the character and ethos of the pub and reflects the local area.”
