Built around 1780, this Grade II listed former coaching inn is popular with locals, boaters, ramblers and cyclists, as it is close to the Staffordshire and Worcestershire canal and Smestow Valley Nature Reserve.

It has multiple rooms and comprises of a lively tiled floor bar with local banter, a games room and a more sedate carpeted cosy snug.

Asset of Community Value

Mid to late 18the century pub with a delightful small bar front-right (indicated as 'SPIRIT VAULTS' on the door glass). Beamed ceiling, red-tiled floor, old benches, and a higgledy-piggledy servery on the left. However, the room has been enlarged and has a modern brick fireplace and alterations to the servery. At the rear is a modern corridor, and on the left a lounge on two levels - probably former two rooms - which is traditional in style but all modern.
