Built in 1886 to a design by renowned local pub architect A H Bone, the Mother Shipton stands in a densely-populated residential district. The original carved figurine above the corner entrance was replaced in 1999. The pub now attracts a good local trade and offers BT Sports on television, a pool table and gaming machines. Friday, Saturday and Sunday night entertainment includes discos and live music. The furnishings consist of traditional tables and chairs, bar stools and upholstered bench seats. Local microbreweries are regularly supported. A traditional cider in the form of Weston's Rosie's Pig is dispensed from a box on the bar. There is an outside smoking area to the rear of the pub.

CAMRA members receive a discount on cask ales and real cider on production of their membership card. Student discount is available on Monday and Tuesday evenings from 7-11pm.
