Underwent a thorough refurbishment in mid-2015, this saw the loss of the former Vault bar and the removal of fixed seating. Food and interesting beers are now on sale. A large L-shaped corner house probably dating from the 1930s (built in 'Banker's Classical' style) that is sited in an under-pubbed area of the village. At one point, it was probably too large for the trade it attracted, now with JW Lees in charge, it has seen trade improve. Decor includes old photos of the long demolished Capital Theatre, that stood opposite, still adorn the walls. The interior is large enough to accommodate all customers be they dining, watching TV sports or simply enjoying the pub.

Historic Interest

Changed hands on 14/12/2014 from Kings Feast Pub Co to Manchester brewer, JW Lees. At one time this was a former Boddingtons Brewery house, and the head office of the now defunct Boddington Pub Co.
