Formerly a coaching inn where the horses were changed on the London to Hastings coach route, the pub is situated in the attractive village of Farnborough, but is also very convenient for the main A21. The interior is spacious, and includes an attached function room/restaurant, whilst the garden is one of the most pleasant in the borough. The pub closed for refurbishment in 2019, and reopened under new management in December of that year.

In addition to the two permanent cask beers, seasonal ales are occasionally available.

The pub is a hub of the local village, and operates a coffee morning on Tuesdays from 10.30am onwards. It also operates a book exchange club. Along with the regular food offerings, there is also a Thai food evening beginning at 6.30pm every Wednesday.

A variety of special events are hosted. Visitors are recommended to check the pub's active Facebook page (linked to above) for the most up-to-date information.

The London LOOP trail passes nearby providing a convenient stopping point for walkers.
