Website

Built in 1928 to replace an even older pub of the same name, which in turn derived its name from the nearby mill where silk was first spun on John Lombe's factory system in 1722. The open-plan layout has three distinct areas consisting of a central bar, a dining area at the rear and the Offilers' Lounge through an arched opening to the right of the bar. Real ale and cider drinkers are well catered for with a changing selection of real ale and cider served from hand pump. Food is served up in imaginative and quirky ways.

There is a garden to the side of the pub affording a close up view of the mural covering the full height of the side wall.
