A very smart Sam Smith's house, extensively panelled in light oak, this gives the interior a warm and cosy feel. On the right is a spacious vault and to the left three additional rooms - a large lounge with parquet, wraps itself around the bar counter, whilst off this is a smaller carpeted lounge and a snug. At the rear is a spacious garden with plenty of seating and the shade of mature trees to enjoy summer days in. Truly at the heart of the community with a variety of groups using the pub to raise funds for community improvement projects and such. Regular events include a quiz night, Hoy bingo on Mondays, Thirsty Thursdays, "What's in your box?" Friday, "Lucky Plucker" on Saturday, and even a knitting club. Food is served weekdays 12-2, supplemented by a Sunday carvery. Local CAMRA branch Community Pub Award winner 2025, and Pub of the Year 2018.

Historic Interest

It came into Samuel Smith ownership in 1948 when they bought out original owners, Rochdale & Manor Brewery.
