A refurbishment during summer 2015 restored the whole building to a high standard and the split level bar has been sympathetically furnished throughout.

The pub hosts varied events such as live music, quiz nights and DJ nights. Further details can be found on the pub's Facebook page.

Food provision and hours vary and visitors may wish to confirm these with the pub if appropriate (as well as checking the pub's Facebook page) .

Similarly, opening hours may vary from time to time.
