Popular village local on the green. After a period of closure, the pub was re-opened in February 2025 by new owners. The spacious but cosy bar has a splendid log fire, and is dog-friendly. Drinkers are also welcome in the very comfy lounge, also featuring an open fire. Towards the rear of the building is a dedicated dining room. Disabled access is via the right-hand side door. Children's play area in the garden. The owners are also the landlords of The Nelson in Creswell Green.

Information for this venue is provided by the Cannock Chase Branch of CAMRA
