History: Single roomed establishment with a muted nautical theme with photos, a ship’s wheel, even a figurehead of a Turk. The pub itself had a pleasant multi-roomed feel despite there being a considerable amount of opening up over the years. There was a well appointed smoking area at the back and beyond that a beer garden. Darts and crib on Tues and pool on Weds. A local football teams also based itself at the pub. Regular lunchtime menu comprised toasties, burgers, chips and similar straightforward pub fare. Weddings and funerals were also catered for. It was to have been demolished sometime in 2011 for a proposed expansion of the next-door Asda supermarket, but the developers and Robinsons had second thoughts, so all was well with the pub for another eleven years.
