Under a new manager from November 2018 but the same licensee. Built at the beginning of the 20th Century, this basic boozer has two rooms, one of which can be booked for private events. There is a pool table and. a log-burning fire, and a beer garden to the rear. The real ales change constantly with least three available during the week and a fourth at weekends - mostly from local microbreweries plus others from further away. At least one dark beer is usually available, plus two real ciders. Kids welcome until 8pm. The pub plays a big part in the local "Redfest" week at the start of August. Live music features on many nights featuring the local "underground scene" and can be loud at weekends. Quieter folk music on Wednesdays. Customers can choose the recorded music at other times. Vegetarian and Vegan pizzas are served 5-9.30pm Weds to Sunday with plans to introduce other dishes which will also be vegetarian. Dogs welcome on leads.
