Re-opened in 2007 and it has turned into a venue which is lovely, warm and cosy inside with plenty of artwork decorating the walls. Good range of beers, which has been recently extended - beers from local breweries are now a regular feature. On Tuesday evenings there is a very popular pub quiz which puts seating at a premium. A big screen on match days when it can get busy (note the pub opens at 11am on weekend match days). Very good jukebox. Frequented mainly by younger locals. Thai food is served with a Saturday menu starting with brunch at noon and later items such as burgers, hot dogs and lite biotes; roasts on Sunday (noon to 7pm) but we do not know the full hours of service. Regular beer festivals.
