A three-storey multi-room pub that has been converted into semi-open plan whilst retaining distinct areas. Refurbished in late 2021 in a ‘modern traditional’ style, using a warm and welcoming palette of greys, creams and browns, with lots of natural wood, too. The focus of the pub is now is family-friendly and as an eating venue. Three rooms are served by a central bar on the right – a cosy snug, front right, a large lounge, with plenty of padded fixed seating, running from front to back on the left, and at the rear the former games room has been converted into a dining room. At the back there is an extensive paved drinking area, which will eventually be served by an outside bar. In past times, it had an off-on-off relationship with cask ale often due to poor sales, in fact the pub was keg-only for a period in 2013-14.
