End-on to the street, the pub has the appearance of a row of stone cottages. The front entrance leads into a cosy lounge and dining room, extended into a narrow conservatory at the front. From the lounge is a staircase leading to a restaurant/function room on the first floor. To the rear of this is a separate entrance into the public bar, which has a low beamed ceiling. The rear part of the range of buildings is thatched, and across the car park entrance is a row of old outbuildings. The pub is popular for food.

There are a few picnic tables around the pub at the side and rear; the car park is at the back; then beyond this is a garden area with picnic tables, a play area with swings, and a central petanque pitch.

Historic Interest

This grade II listed building was once a dwelling house, but has been selling drinks now for over 200 years. It was part of The Ruddles estate until 1978 when Everards acquired the Ruddles estate of 24 pubs for the grand sum of £730,000.

The official listing description is as follows:

"GV II Public house, formerly dwelling. C17. Coursed ironstone rubble with Welsh slate roof. Gable onto street. Two storeys and now of three units but the bay to the left of the doorway is apparently a slightly later addition. It contains a two-light casement to each floor with flat timber lintels. Right of the doorway, two casement windows on ground floor are cut through former stone mullioned lights and between them is a higher small blocked stone chamfered window. Another similar blocked window is in the rear elevation. Brick gable end stacks. One later rendered bay to left."
