The Runt in Tun

Country pub & eatery · EST 1908

Follow the snout
The Runt's tail

A runt ... But a big heart.

Named for the old hamlet of Runtington, The Runt in Tun has been the village local since the early 1900s — unpretentious, warm, and full of character.

Today you'll find log fires in winter, a sunny garden with a play area in summer, dogs welcome, and a kitchen that treats pub food with the care it deserves.

    Our old H-van out in the garden — proper pizza when the sun's out and the garden's full.
