Popular, multi-award-winning pub with 12 keg/KeyKegs and four ciders on handpump complementing the eight cask beers, which are mainly sourced from local and national independent breweries. Regular beer festivals and occasional live music are also a feature. The back room can be booked for functions. Customers can order food next door, or elsewhere. A popular fortnightly pub quiz is held on Sundays. Note the ornate granite pillars between the two rooms. Current local CAMRA Pub of the Year.
