Taking its name from the implements used in a local battle between gipsies, the pub started life next door in what is now a cottage and was originally called the Lord Nelson. The current building dates from 1935 and the old Lord Nelson sign remains on display - but otherwise the pub has been significantly modernised and features contemporary decor. Sadly, the traditional public bar was removed as part of a refurbishment a few years ago, reinforcing the pub owners' determination to focus on diners over drinkers. Large garden.
