Friendly country pub, now a privately-owned free-house, offering a warm welcome and pleasant atmosphere. There is a comfortable single room main bar, often quite busy, and a separate large, smart, 48-seater restaurant located beyond the bar.

The lunch menu offers limited choice, but the evening menu is wider ranging and includes pizzas. There are separate Sunday menus.

A new(ish) microbrewery is located to the rear of the car park. This commenced operations in July 2017, but although this is run by a separate company, the Roebuck Brewing Company, its beers are show-cased in the pub.

The Klondike Mill Steam Preservation Centre is located a few hundred yards to the south. The National Trust’s Sudbury Hall, with its Museum of Childhood, and the National Football Centre at St George’s Park are both within 5 miles.
