Originally the Woodman, it was built in 1845 and was one of the first buildings in Blackfen. It was then demolished and rebuilt in 1931 by Reffells Brewery when large-scale building began in the area. Refurbished in 2007 and renamed after the original landlord and refurbished again in 2018. It is now a comfortable and pleasant large single-roomed pub/sports bar with large TV screens for sport in all parts. There is a buy five get one free loyalty scheme in operation. Plenty of outdoor seating available.
