The front entrance opens into the main bar which is decorated in grey and has exposed beams. The blue board-fronted bar has three handpumps as well as a range of keg beers including some from local brewery, BrewBoard. An inscription beside the bell pays tribute to the former licensee. Pieminister pies and mash available from the bar. Food vans Wednesday-Sunday. There is a separate bar billiards room which is used for meetings and other functions. Behind the pub there is a car park, pétanque court, covered beer garden and smoking area.
