Popular with the local community, this pub was much improved following renovation in 2012. The cosy atmosphere is enhanced by a real fire in winter.

There are two regular cask ales, supplemented by four other handpumps serving a changing range of cask ales, mainly from non-mainstream breweries.

The many activities include comedy nights, live music, a book club, a knitting group, painting classes as well as quiz and bingo evenings. The pub also has a range of board games. Over 18s only after 8 pm.

Local CAMRA branch runner-up Pub of the Year 2014 and 2015.
