This pub, in the heart of Idle village, re-opened under new ownership on 5 May 2023 by two locals who wanted to bring back the feel of the Symposium they used to know. The lower front area is given priority to dining but it is possible just to have a drink when it is less busy. Seating for drinkers is provided on the raised area containing the bar and in the snug to the rear. The bar has two hand-pulls. When visited in May 2025., one was being used to dispense a real ale whilst the other was being used to dispense a non-real 'brewery conditioned' keg beer. There are six keg taps, including one dedicated to Erdinger. The rear terrace provides extensive views. Under the terrace is an additional customer area, giving smokers some shelter. A quiz takes place on Wednesdays from 7pm - smart phone required. Food times are subject to confirmation.
