A former multi-award winning free house. A fair choice of mostly national brand beers are usually to be had. Four neatly decorated rooms radiate from the congested bar, two compact snugs, a large lounge with feature overmantle mirror which most regulars regard as the best room in the pub. From 2023, this room houses a pool table, which seems somewhat incongruous., Meanwhile to the right is an overspill room with plenty of standing space. Live music is a feature of weekends, with the large yard and attractive outdoor seating area to the rear often show-casing larger acts such as local rock bands, folk, acoustic and more. This tends to operate from March till November. It serves too as a beer garden and barbecue area. This space has an outdoor bar that operates during the music events (no cask ale served from here though). NB. Strictly over-18s only,
