The pub is located in the original (1872) railway station building, rebuilt after years of neglect by Network Rail and the Railway Heritage Trust. Re-opened in February 2025 as an Irish bar. As you would expect lots of green around, GAA framed shirts adorn the walls along with the historical photos of the station and buildings. Guinness is a big seller however Murphy's is also featured which is a rarity nowadays. A new balcony has been installed above the main bar where live acts perform. A closed off area at the end of the building is now the beer garden, there is a small bar in the garden. Food is now available including Irish inspired breakfasts.
