A friendly locals' pub with some interesting internal features. There are occasional social events such as for Burns Night and Halloween. A young pig called 'Piggy Stardust' now occupies an enclosure in the garden - a replacement for 'Frances Bacon' who was the resident pig for several years up to January 2024. The Conquering Hero is the closest pub to where a dog named Pickles famously found the missing World Cup trophy in 1966.
