This is what some might call a 'proper boozer' with a friendly landlady and an equally friendly but lively set of customers. Opened-out but with clearly separate areas within the bar. The room on the right contains a pool table. At the rear is a separate vault. Around the walls and across the ceiling are England flags and bunting (football rather than politics being the driving force here). The pub has a gents and ladies darts team. They also have an occasional poker night. Lunches 12-2 Th-Fr. There was a threat that upon the current licensee's retirement in 2018, the pub would close for all time. Robinson's have had a change of heart in mid-2019, and have invested in the premises by refurbishing the exterior.
Historic Interest
Acquired by Frederic Robinson with the purchase of the Hempshaw Brook Brewery of Bell & Co, in June 1949.
