This late 19th-century locals pub was substantially rebuilt in the early 1900s, and completely refurbished in 2003, inside and outside. The interior comprises a large L-shaped single room, with distinct 'bar' and 'lounge' areas: the former has a wooden floor and incorporates a pool table, the lounge is more comfortably furnished.

New licensees in 2021 have re-introduced food and orientated the pub as family-friendly.

Historic Interest

The earliest reference to the pub is in an 1874 trade directory, but the original premises were substantially rebuilt further from the road in the early 1900s. It was initially owned by Alton’s Brewery (Derby), which was taken over by Stretton’s Brewery (Derby) in 1903. The latter was taken over by Allsopp’s in 1927, which then merged with Ind Coope in 1934. The Allsopp name was dropped in 1959, and in 1961 Ind Coope became absorbed into Allied Breweries. The pub continued to trade under the Ind Coope name until it was sold to Marston’s in 1990; ownership then passed to NewRiver Retail in 2013.
