A picturesque and cosy village pub with a separate quarry tiled public bar in which a set of antique beer engines can be seen. The original building dates from the early 19th century and was extended and refurbished c1940 out of Irish Sweepstake winnings creating a lounge of two rooms each with distinctive fireplaces. A further extension was made in 1980 to the rear up a few steps to create a dining area. Beers generally rotate with occasional longer "stints" for the likes of Ushers 1824 or Ringwood Bitter. Being near to the Clwydian mountain range the pub attracts many walkers.

Two star - A pub interior of very special national historic interest

Listed status: Not listed

Multi-roomed old village pub which has expanded into the cottage next door. In around 1940 it was purchased and refitted out of Irish Sweepstake winnings and retains the fittings from a refurbishment of that date. To the right of the entrance, the door numbered '1' leads to a small bar with a quarry-tiled floor, a curved counter and an inglenook style fireplace, all installed c.1940 .Through an arch to the right, another quarry-tiled small room has a c.1940 brick fireplace and an antique settle, To the rear is a tiny room, with a grandfather clock and piano, served from a small hatch to the back of the bar. From a separate entrance on the left, another bar was created out of two small rooms of a cottage with a quarry-tiled floor, bar fittings and a brick fireplace from c.1940. The only changes are the adding of a copper bar top possibly in the 1960s; and an early 1980s extension added to the rear of the right side creating a further room.
