A fireside village pub with room to linger
The Hayhurst Arms is rooted in its village setting, with the green outside, spacious lawns and terrace, and the character of wooden-beamed dining areas, cosy corners and smaller nooks. Log fires add a warm focal point, while the well-stocked bar and interconnecting spaces create plenty of atmosphere for an unhurried visit. The gardens overlooking the green add an appealing outdoor dimension when the season is right.
Food is served from a current daily menu spanning starters, light bites, mains, puddings and hot drinks, with allergen guidance and gluten-free controls noted by the operator. That range suits everything from a lighter stop to a leisurely meal, with a relaxed country-pub rhythm. The bar area also welcomes well-behaved dogs on leads, with guidance to keep them on the floor rather than furniture.
There is a lively community thread too: the operator currently lists live music, a run club, monthly pub walks and quiz nights, alongside its description of Bostock as a close-knit social hub. Full step-free access, a disabled toilet and disabled parking are recorded by both the operator and CAMRA. Settle beside the fire or take a table by the gardens for good company and time well spent.
