The village is named after Ketil's Stone, probably an Anglo-Saxon boundary marker. Created from a row of thatched cottages in an idyllic setting,the pub offers high quality food, fine wines and well-kept cask ales. There is a splendid lounge bar and three dining areas include the Garden Room in a rear extension overlooking a herb garden. Regularly changing guest beers are offered, usually from Nene Valley or Digfield. One of the few pubs to be in the 1972 Good Beer Guide.
