Known locally as ‘The Thatch’, this Grade II listed tavern is thought to date back to the 13th century and features rare medieval cruck frame construction, where entire tree trunks form the iconic ‘A’ shaped roof supports still visible on the north end of the building.
Beyond its unique construction, The Thatch has also played a significant role in village life since its transformation from three individual cottages into a tavern in the 16th or 17th century. It was an important meeting place from its earliest days and remains a vital hub for the Honeybourne community. This was recognised in 2021 when it was designated as a Community Asset to the village.
Visitors to The Thatch are greeted by an authentic sense of history the moment they step through its doorways, with traditional features such as flagstone floors, open fires that create a welcoming ambience, and exposed oak beams contributing to the tavern’s enduring charm.
