Traditional High Street pub dating back to the 19th Century. Single bar with a separate lower seating area with tables looking out onto the High Street. The premises have had various styles over recent years but has now reverted to being a straight-forward pub. Check the Facebook page for details of live music and any other events.
Beyond the small front section, formerly a shop until the 1970s, there is a long narrow bar that was originally two rooms. A bar counter, which looks to be from the 1930s, runs almost the length of the room. The counter front has patterned panels recently painted a pastel shade of green - sadly the cupboards that had similar panels have been replaced by fridges. Other 1930s fittings include minimal panelling on the walls also painted a pastel shade of green and stained and leaded exterior windows. There is a short partition as you enter the room, where the counter curves (modern glazed section on the top) - no bar back in this area just modern tiling on the wall. There is also a dumb waiter in the left hand portion. Originally you walked down a passage on the right to get into the pub.
