Friendly, multi-roomed village pub with low ceilings. Former Lees Brewery regional pub of the year. Off the beaten track, but on the Sandstone Trail, and deservedly popular for its good quality food.

17th-century pub converted from two cottages which were rendered in the 1940s, just after Greenall Whitley took over. It originally consisted of three rooms – the bar, small snug to the left and the far left lounge. It is not clear how the servery worked originally but it might have been a cellar as there are signs of walls having openings created in them. The snug on the right is of most interest with old fixed seating, good wood surround fireplace in inglenook, old panelling on the exterior wall and service from a hatch to the servery. A door on the left leads to the lounge with a 1930/1950s brick fireplace, mostly full-height panelling which was only exposed recently. Two other small rooms at the rear have been brought into use.
