Originally the Woodman, it was built in 1845 and was one of the first buildings in Blackfen. It was then demolished and rebuilt in 1931 by Reffells Brewery when large-scale building began in the area. Refurbished in 2007 and renamed after the original landlord and refurbished again in 2018. It is now a comfortable and pleasant large single-roomed pub/sports bar with large TV screens for sport in all parts. Plenty of outdoor seating available, mainly on artificial grass, with pleasant lighting and plants on the walls. Lilley's ciders are sold but not considered real by CAMRA.
