A corner-site community pub retaining a number of historic fittings and tilework. The vault area, popular with locals, is small and narrow and has a green tiled dado; there is more tiling on the wall between the vault and rear right area, and in this area a modest vestibule entrance with a partly visible mosaic floor. Note the mosaic tiled floor on the inside of the former side entrance to the 'Vault' . The narrow doorway to the 'Vault' on the right of the main entrance in only 2 feet wide! as is the cellar doorway. Etched glass in the doors advertises the 'vault' and the (former) 'outdoor dept'. The back area has a dart board and pool table. It has a more modern styling but with attractive wall seating. This larger bar provides a more comfortable lounge area. There are 3 handpumps on the bar, though it is likely that only 2 may be in use midweek
