Traditional two-bar pub with plush lounge but unspoiled public bar. Car parks front and rear, and beer garden at rear.
A good community feel, with darts, pool and bowls teams. The current owners took over in July 2021, and have introduced more ales, and an annual beer festival.
Built by Youngs, Crawshay & Youngs in 1931. It had an off sales shop on the left, public bar, snug and lounge with a bowling green at the rear. Main entrance leads to the bar on the left which retains its original bar back, but the counter was replaced in the early 2000s. The small area near the door was a separate snug until the early 1980s - note the second original bar back. The small room on the left was the off-sales shop and retains an old counter and original brick fireplace. It was accessed via its own exterior door but in the 1980s this was blocked up and an opening created between the two rooms. The lounge on the right also has its original door blocked up and has been refurbished at least twice in recent years but it still retains the original brick fireplace. This is a true community pub with the bowling green still in use, also at the rear is the headquarters of the Costessey South Road Pigeon Racing Club, where local pigeon fanciers bring their birds to load onto the lorry. The pub hosts a Anglian club, two football teams and hosts two hockey teams as well.
