The pub has gone through a tasteful refurbishment inside and out in early summer 2023 giving a welcoming feel. There is an emphasis on exquisite food in the main restaurant, with a bar area serving up to two real ales. Their focus is to provide a warm and welcoming environment for everyone, whether you are simply dropping in for a coffee or taking your mother-in-law out to dinner! In summer you can enjoy a beer in the pleasant garden and sample the garden food on offer; the outside bar is now fully covered and with the heaters makes for a great drinking spot, with fresh pizzas on Friday and Saturday evenings.

With the cellar reopening in April 2025; one line will be dedicated to Rebellion on rotation and the other to local guest range.
