Dating from the 1750s, this attractive stone-built inn overlooks open countryside and the Rivington Hills. Originally a farm and smithy it became a coaching inn in the 1830s, and is a multi-roomed pub with exposed stonework and beams and several open fires. To the rear is a bowling green. There is a pool table in its own room and a selection of games is available. In the rear courtyard, the old coaching stables have been converted into a function room for up to 35 people.

There is usually one, sometimes two guest ales taken either from the Punch Taverns or from the SIBA lists and beer paddles are available for those who want to try a few different cask ales.
