Built in 1957 as an hotel, this is the only Smith owned pub in the local area. Rooms consist of a main lounge and a public bar with a snug off the lounge with a real fire. The former dining room was converted to an overflow lounge and function room in the 80’s, whilst the fireplace in the lounge was removed in order to provide extra seating. The deep-windowed bays give natural light and there is around-the-wall fitted seating. Sensitive refurbishment carried out in 2018. Very much a community pub, the trophy cabinet is well filled.

Over-18s only.

One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: Not listed

This suburban estate pub of spacious proportions and some quality was built in 1957-8 as a pub-cum-hotel by Samuel Smith’s Brewery. The three original pub rooms, planned around a central servery, all have generous fitted seating and deep-windowed bays, giving good natural light. A further lounge bar was created around 1981 from the former hotel dining room (and its toilets) and a new opening, with sliding doors, was formed through to the original lounge. The off-sales became a kitchen some time later. Unspoilt ladies’ and gents’ toilets off both lobbies.
