This Ember Inns pub has a large restaurant area, and specialises in its food options although there is plenty of room for patrons only wishing to drink. There is a large conservatory and a pleasant garden. Up to three cask ales are now normally available (and discounted on Tuesdays and Thursdays for Cask Club). The guest beers change regularly and can come from anywhere in the UK. Cost of car parking tickets can be reclaimed at the bar when you order food or drink. There is an active social scene with quiz nights (every Wed & Sun), karaoke (first Thursday of the month), and psychic nights (second Monday of the month). The pub reopened after refurbishment on 26 June 2025.
