We love The King Rufus.The toasted sandwiches are gorgeous and the ploughman's tasty and filling.Good selection of drinks, alcoholic and mixers. Nice coffee too!Mike and Cat are always welcoming. A warm and friendly pub.Live music on the last Sunday of every month.

Visited for the first time in many years and was really surprised by how friendly the owners are. It is rare to get such a friendly greeting when entering pubs in my experience. The local customers were also very friendly and chatty. Shame there is no local decent craft beer so opted for a cider. Will definitely return when they are open on weekends!

We came to the Sunday night music sessions at The King Rufus. It's the first time we have visited and we had a BRILLIANT night!! Wonderful music from Kalo Murray ( his first ever gig and he was fantastic. Acoustic laid back vibes. Check him out !!!)Such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. A little hidden gem! We will be back very soon.

An unusual, unique and cosy pub. We visited on a Sunday and had the delicious Ploughmans while local act Daughters of Davis were playing.Drinks selection here is very good as were the prices....it was a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere and we had a lovely time. A hidden gem.Parking is limited but there is a free public car park just a short walk north.

Great drinks & friendly locals. Should have ordered a toastie earlier as they sold them all before I did

Absolutely love this little pub, not many like this left! Friendly staff with a really welcoming atmosphere. We usually enjoy a few drinks and a toastie on Fri evenings but on Sunday we decided to pop in for a ploughman's salad and I have to say, it was the best we've had. Great choice of items with lovely fresh ingredients. Can't wait to have another one :)

We went to a private function, couldnt fault the staff all very friendly and a lovely place to hire on a Saturday night to have a get together, I think the maximum number of guests is 50. The pub is a small traditional style pub and has a lovely welcoming feel to it.

This is a true gem of a place - a warm, friendly, personalised welcome awaited us when we visited yesterday (Mother's Day). Everything about the King Rufus ticked all my boxes: the care for customers, the delicious toasties and warm brownies, tasty coffee made with care, a full selection of drinks behind the bar, board games to play and beautiful surroundings.The chilled music that played meant that we spent 2 hours relaxing and enjoying our visit. Mike and Cat the owners were so lovely, and as a dog-friendly place, we were able to bring our furry girl with us. She enjoyed a cooked sausage which was no trouble to ask for :)It was one of the loveliest Mother's Day afternoons I've had. Thank you Mike and Cat.
