A traditional, friendly, town centre community pub at the northern end of the High Street. With two bars: a long public and a quieter saloon, plus garden and outdoor, partly covered, smoking area. Lunchtime food available, except on Sundays, the pub has darts and shove halfpenny teams and quiz nights. The landlord and his team have been here since 1999.
Two star - A pub interior of very special national historic interest
Listed status: Not listed
The exotic architectural confection of a frontage was added in 1910 to an existing pub. Very revealing are the stone reliefs over the groundfloor windows which show how a century ago the pub was divided (left to right) into a private bar, public bar and saloon. What is also remarkable is the survival of the etched glass windows in the frontage and the naming of rooms in the door glass. The present public bar (left) is a combination of the private and public bars. The original counter , albeit with modern panels, survives (see the brackets), as does the bar-back. The counter in the right-hand area also has had modern panels fitted to the front. This area is a combination of the saloon area and a former sitting room behind: there is a small hatch with ledge built into the door to the servery.
Built 1890 with a distinctive frontage added in 1910 including 'Private Bar', 'Public Bar' and 'Saloon Bar' in stone relief above the ground floor windows and a number of etched windows with room names survive. The present public bar on the left is a combination of the private and public bars - the public bar door now being blocked off by fixed seating (was there hatch service to the private bar?). The original bar back and also bar counter remains but the latter has fresh panels on the front. The Toad in the Hole game is played here. To the right there is what looks like an off sales door with a " " panel on the door that leads into this very small room. On the right the lounge has a 'Saloon Bar' etched panel in both exterior and inner doors. The bar counter is the original with replacement front panels that match the dado panelling on the walls and could be dated 1960/1970s, some of which has covered up an old fireplace. This room has been combined with a former sitting room at the rear where there is a small hatch/doorway for service.
