Converted from the old H and R electronics shop into a micropub in 2015. There is an ever changing range of hand pulled and gravity fed real ales, plus a choice of several ciders and perries. More than 80 types of foreign and craft bottled beers are available. There is more extensive seating available upstairs, where patrons may play music from a wide selection of vinyl records - 400+ and counting.

The upstairs room can be hired for free for groups of 18 - 35 people.

Branch Pub of the Year 2018. Mild Pub of the Year 2024 and 2025.

Food may be brought in from external vendors.

Card only - no cash please.
