Accredited for beer quality 2022.

Grade 2 listed two bar pub with a traditional feel welcoming locals and visitors alike including being a regular haunt of the local sports teams. The front is a mix of plush furnishings and wooden seating with a centre piece of a stove fire with a sports television above. To the left is a darts board with a halo. The walls are adorned with a mix of brewery memorabilia and old photos. The back bar is larger with the low beamed ceiling being more noticeable and a second stove fire. There are three televisions, a pool table and juke box. There are a number of pub teams including darts and dominoes adding to the community atmosphere. The grounds include 5 locally built wooden camping pods for those interested in glamping. Visitors to the Gents may find it a nostalgic experience due to the displays of old cartoon strips on the walls (see picture).
