This corner pub has a black and white exterior constructed of local ironstone and is just around the corner from the bus station. The L-shaped interior appears to once have been three rooms, although these have since been opened out to some extent. The rear area has a pool table, darts board and skittles table leading to the traditional fireplace (disused). A side exit leads to two courtyards.

Every Wednesday is Quiz night and live music is on advertised Saturday evenings and Sunday afternoons.
