A former multi-award winning free house. A fair choice of mostly national brand beers are usually to be had, making it one of the town's interesting cask ale outlets. Four neatly decorated rooms radiate from the congested bar, two compact snugs, a large lounge with feature overmantle mirror which most regulars regard as the best room in the pub. From 2023, this room houses a pool table, which seems somewhat incongruous., Meanwhile to the right is an overspill room with plenty of standing space. Live music is a feature of weekends, with the large yard and attractive outdoor seating area to the rear often show-casing larger acts such as local rock bands, folk, acoustic and more. This tends to operate from March till November. It serves too as a beer garden and barbecue area. This space has an outdoor bar that operates during the music events (no cask ale served from here though).

NB. Strictly over-18s only,
