New management took over the pub at the beginning of July 2019, and have made substantial changes, with the objective of creating a family and food orientated venue. In particular, the Sports TV screens, the pool table and the football scarves behind the bar are all gone.

And real ale has been introduced, for the first time in many years. For a while management intend to experiment with the cask ale choice, including some unusual choices.

The pub itself is rather larger and more spacious than one would guess from the exterior. Inside is a single U-shaped bar with the floor, walls and bar all predominantly wooden. To the rear is a secluded stone-flagged garden with benches and tables.

Please note that opening hours and food service times may be subject to variation as noted from 24th May 2024.

Historic Interest

This originally opened in the 1860s as the Carpenters Arms with the development of the area into workers' cottages and local industry. The railway opened in 1858, followed by the gas works in 1864. The pub was renamed after Viscount Holmesdale, who was the local MP 1859 to 1868, at a time when the pub was also used as a Masonic lodge. Homesdale Road was originally called Brick Kiln Lane (the road has always been spelt without the L). The original pub sign showed an earlier Lord Holmesdale (as portrayed by Joshua Reynolds), who was General Wolfe's commander at Quebec in 1759 as General Jeffery Amherst and received his peerage in 1776 as 1st Baron Amherst of Holmesdale.
