See more about this pub on WhatPub, CAMRA's national pub guide.
Traditional wet-led free house with a background jukebox for entertainment. The strong house beer is supported by up to two rotating pale ales. The main bar has fixed seating and bar stools. The dartboard is often in use. A rare example of a hostelry where the beers are still chalked up onto a blackboard. There are a small number of benches in the rear garden. The top of the pub has a traditional open fire.
