Reopened in May 2025 after an extended period of closure. Self-described as a stubbornly independent real pub, proudly only pouring locally sourced beers, ciders, spirits and soft drinks. Pie & mash served all day. Live music monthly on Thursdays. Two changing beers from Hop Union are served, as well as a guest from another local brewery, often Bristol Beer Factory.
