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 rotating 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.
