A traditional town centre community pub with two bars and a rear dining area and outside patio. The Dolly, as it's known, is a former Morland pub, situated on a pedestrian street just off the central market square and the frontage still bears the traditional Morland 'tile'.

Open for breakfast, with alcohol being served from 10am every day.

The Dolly features live music, karaoke and discos plus TV sports and two separate dart board areas.

Good traditional pub food may be taken in a separate bar or the dining area – children under 5 eat free all week, and children under 12 eat free on Wednesday and Sunday.
