Opened since the early 1900's, this off-centre back street up market pub has recently undergone extensive refurbishment although its old character remains in the exposed original brickwork and restored wooden beams retained throughout. The pub is in an L-shape with the small bar towards the front. and more room to the back leading to the garden. There are also three rooms upstairs that can be used for functions. Trading as a craft ale and beer house, it has five hand pumps with at least two real ales on at all times with remainder being cider. Ales and real cider are sourced from microbreweries both local and further afield, plus a range of keg craft and bottled ales. Accompanying the beer are freshly prepared pizzas, cooked in the in-house pizza oven. The cask ales change regularly with a free taster size for those who are unsure being able to "try before you buy".

Awarded Chronicle & Echo’s Northampton’s Best Bar 2014 and winner of the 2016/17 Northamptonshire Food and Drink Awards Best Bar None: Town Pub of the Year.
