A popular 19th-century local with a plain but bright and tidy interior which includes an attractive bar area, featuring a wooden bar counter and bar stools, which is linked to a small "lounge" on one side. There is a separate 21-seater dining room on the other.

A separate function/TV room, the Stable Bar, with its own bar counter, has been created in the old stables at the rear where the stall partitions have been retained.

Historic Interest

Originally a farmhouse on the Ratcliff family estate (of Bass, Ratcliff & Gretton brewery fame), and it became a pub in the late 19th-century.

Information for this venue is provided by the Burton-on-Trent & South Derbyshire Branch of CAMRA
