A small bar serves two areas - one accommodating a pool table. The other has a dart board and large screen for sport.

There is an outdoor patio with heated cover for smokers and a larger wooden structure provides cover in poor weather with seating. There was a selection of amusements in the corner of this structure to keep little ones occupied on the day of the survey.

Historic Interest

Grade II Listed. Historic England List UID: 1303091. Records for this largely timber-framed building go back to 1535, but some roof trusses are thought to be Saxon. It could originally have been an inn (note the swan with two necks above the front door) and may have been a resting place on a drovers' route from Wales to London. It became in turn a forge, a petrol filling station, and a restaurant before becoming a pub again. Parts of the building date from the 17th century. The pub was known as The Swan Inn until 1779.
