  • Historic Interior

Established in the 19th century with a virtually unaltered public bar which has quarry tiled flooring and a brick inglenook fireplace. There a hatch on the side of the bar where locals end up congregating. Whilst other rooms in the pub have been knocked through it still retains a traditional atmosphere. Purple Moose beers are regular here with Glaslyn ale sometimes rotated with another from the brewery. Only Sunday lunch is available at the moment but there are plans to introduce food at other times. An absolute boon for smokers is a covered smoking area which has it's own log fire!! Biker friendly pub.

One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: Not listed

Early 19th.century town pub with a little changed public bar and passageway drinking. A wood-panelled passage runs from the front door to the rear and you will often find locals sitting around the small counter/hatch to the side of the bar. On the left, the small quarry-tiled public bar has an old counter and even older wainscoting, but the bar-back shelving is modern. A large inglenook contains a 1930s brick and slate fireplace and high mantelshelf. On the right of the passage the two small rooms were knocked together in 1993 and feature some timber uprights; the front area has a 1930s brick fireplace and some old half-height panelling. A new restaurant has been added upstairs and on the front of the pub you will find the smoking shelter, more like another pub room, which even has a log fire.
