Busy and cosy community pub on the town's main street with two bars plus a games room. Popular with a good mix of people. Hot food is served all day except Monday. A real fire adds a cosy feel in winter. There are ample decked and grassed areas to the rear and tables to the front. Lots of fun events are arranged every year raising money for various charities.
