The current building dates back to 1924 but the site of the public house has been a source of hospitality for both locals and visitors since the 17th Century. Its first reference to being a beer house was in 1850 when it was known as the Plumbers Arms. By 1896 it was owned by Frederick Quincey Lane who owned Lane Nurseries close by and was a watering hole for the workforce. It changed ownership several times from then and was also known as the Red Lion before being named after the local landmark. The pub is a free house and has been owned by the same family for 10 years. The real ales and craft beers are supplied by Red Squirrel Brewery.
