A former Watneys house dating back to 1873 replacing the Cricketers, it was bought by Young's in 2007 from the Spirit Group and a major refurbishment followed. The pub now prides itself on its food and drink. A daily menu of freshly prepared dishes is available throughout the pub from the open kitchen including in the raised dining area. The walls are decorated with stills and posters from various films. Tuesday is poker night, Thursday is the quiz and comedy is on occasional Sundays. The pub boasts two rooms that can be hired for functions - the upstairs reading room with its own bar and large screen TV and the Summer House.
