This corner pub has a black and white exterior constructed of local ironstone and is just around the corner from the bus station. The L-shaped interior appears to once have been three rooms, although these have since been opened out to some extent. The rear area has a pool table, darts board and skittles table leading to the traditional fireplace (disused). A side exit leads to two courtyards.

Every Wednesday is Quiz night and live music is on advertised Saturday evenings and Sunday afternoons.

Information for this venue is provided by the Northamptonshire Branch of CAMRA
