This prominent pub in North End's shopping district was rebuilt in 1937 to a design by A E Cogswell. Until 2005, the interior consisted of two separate bars, with a central servery. It has since been opened up into what is now an overly-large single room. The interior is comfortably furnished with a part-carpeted, part-boarded bar area and a mixture of banquette seating, traditional tables and chairs plus high tables with stools. A raised deck overlooks London Road, at the front of the pub, and is separated from the main floorspace by an attractive, metal balustrade. At the rear of the pub is a raised games area, complete with two dart boards, a pool table, gaming machines and a jukebox. Dancefloor lighting is also installed in this area, for use when DJs perform (Friday evenings). Sky Sports is shown throughout the pub. A covered patio seating area is located at the rear of the building, together with a sizeable car park.
