Located between Aslockton's sleepy railway station and grand medieval church, the Cranmer Arms is a gruff, no-nonsense rural pub that does the job, but without a great deal of flair. The interior is bare and straightforward, with a dark panelled front section giving way to white washed walls, sturdy benches and a weathered pool table at the back. Each area is separated by a no frills bar that serves the standard lagers and bitters with one or two supplementary local ales that are usually enjoyed by locals in all manner of snazzy tweed outfits. Although the large beer garden and children's play area attract the villages younger populous during the summer, this is very much a watering hole for the rural male who while not being hostile wont be inclined to greet an outsider with handshakes and anecdotes.
