Traditional pub, opened up and consisting of one area with a darts board, and a larger "saloon" style bar. There is a car park, but spaces are limited.

Historic Interest

The pub used to have a covered passage to the left leading around the back. This was enclosed when the pub was expanded into the shop nextdoor in the early Eighties. The extensive grounds at the back were sold off for flats during the same period. All this info from Jim Murray, an ex-guv'nor.
