Eyewitness Angela Sturch said the engine was travelling very slowly through the narrow village streets when the accident happened.
She said the driver seemed to be trying to avoid a car which came out of a side road and then slid into the building.
"It just fell apart in front of our eyes - it had been looking lovely and it was very sad to see it collapse in pieces.
"People had been standing watching it, so it was just lucky there wasn't a tragedy."
The pub had only recently re-opened after refurbishment. It remains open for business.
