The large interior comprises a bar-lounge facing the garden, with the remaining rooms aimed at diners. A verandah (unfortunately spoilt by a noisy ventilation outlet) overlooks the extensive garden, which has a large children's play area. Live music and other special events take place. The menu includes a large range of burger meals, as well as traditional main courses. Winter opening hours may vary.

Historic Interest

The pub was built to serve the nearby Grand Union Canal, as a coal yard and a refreshment point for passing trade. It was owned until 1920 by Sharp's Sileby Brewery. The pub was then extended in the 1930s by Strettons Brewery of Derby, as is evident from the large panel sign on the road elevation.
