Lying close to the crossover of canal, railway and Watling Street, the pub attracts custom from all three transport modes. The building is a 1950s rebuild of much older pub. The drinking area to one side is compact and simply furnished, with a lounge area to the other side largely given over to dining. A striking pictorial mural includes a large old map of Atherstone. A lawned beer garden leads down to canalside moorings.
