This Pub is Closed Long Term

Historic country pub near the canal nestling on the edge of a three acre garden. The lounge, bar and snug are all served from a central bar. The pub has a traditional bowling green which is available to non-members. Food is served every day except Sunday. A folk festival held in July is a regular feature.

Historic Interest

Originally two cottages, it became a pub in 1892 and retains two small front rooms and a rear main bar overlooking the bowling green.. The front right-hand snug is served from a small hatch/bar and also has venerable fixed seating. The front left room, created by a curved partition wall, is especially fine with its ancient door, re tiled floor and unusual curved bar counter with small windows above.

One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: Not listed

Originally two cottages, this became a pub in 1892 and retains two small front rooms and a rear main bar overlooking an active bowling green. The front left room, created by a curved partition wall, is especially fine with its ancient door, red tiled floor and unusual curved bar counter with small windows above. The fixed seating is old but re-covered and there are old wall cupboards and modest baffles by the door. The front right-hand snug is served from a small hatch/bar and also has venerable fixed seating. The main lounge bar has been extended but probably many years ago as the panelling and bench seating looks old, though other fittings are modern. Nice stained glass in the inner door.

General information about historic pub interiors

Formerly two brick built cottages that became a pub in 1892. It retains two small rooms at the front and the main bar at the rear overlooks an active bowling green. Particularly worth a visit is the front left room (known here as 'the bar') created by a curved partition wall with its ancient door, a red tiled floor, unusual small curved bar counter with a row of small windows above and may have had a sash window in the distant past. There is fitted seating around the room is old, but re-covered, the wood surround fireplace may be modern ( is painted cream), there are old wall cupboards and modest baffles by the door. A short passage leads to the front right snug with a carpet, old fixed seating in the bay window, the fireplace looks modern (is painted cream) and the room is served via a small hatch/bar.

The main lounge bar at the rear could have been this size for many years as most of the dado panelling looks old with some wall bench seating (possibly post-war?) although two former doors can be seen on the outside and the brick infill looks suspiciously new. The bar counter, bar-back fitting, two ‘Banks’s fireplaces are all modern. Nice glass in the inner door. An extension on the left brought the toilets inside.
