A justifiably popular local with a modern, friendly feel that offers something for everyone. The pub usually serves beers from various well-regarded breweries such as Ossett, Blackedge, Small World, Titanic, Beartown and Mallinsons. There is always a dark beer among the selection from one of these breweries. There is a pool table, a free but not too loud juke box, unobtrusive TV, a quiet corner, and a comfortable beer garden/smoking area. Note there may be a keyfob only entry after 9pm, if so press the buzzer (see photo)

Historic Interest

In 1982 this was a Whitbread pub selling Duttons Bitter and later Trophy Cask Bitter.
