There are three traditional bars, also a first floor function room with regular comedy, theatre, jazz club and quizzes, along with live music downstairs. The latter is available for hire with its own bar. Four bed and breakfast rooms are named after Harvey’s beers! Food is served, including vegetarian and vegan dishes using organic products; beer battered fish and chips is a speciality.

One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: II

Occupying a 16th century timber building, the pub retains three distinct areas around what appears to be the remains of a central drinking corridor. It's a hotchpotch of ages but some of the counter-front, ply walls anddoors are from a late 50s, early 60s refit. The toilets and access corridor are all new. The front bar was formerly at least two rooms, the western left end being a Jug and Bottle. The most interesting part of the building is a medieval undercroft or vaulted chamber with ribs and a central boss.
