Plush l-shaped lounge of slightly formal dining and contiguous relaxed bar areas. A real fire warms both. Sunny beer gardens lie to front and rear and there is an interesting local history information board at the roadside. NB Very disappointing pub for cask ale with some reports of it not being available despite handpumps suggesting otherwise.
