Sympathetically refurbished in February 2018 by the new licensees keeping all the pub's characteristic features. Friendly local split into several areas - the bar area is on two levels with wooden beams (and together with the snug is the original area of the pub); snug with dart board and games machine; separate restaurant to the rear. Good restaurant and bar food. 2/3 real log fires in winter. Small patio and smoking area to the side. Up to 3 guest real ales from local breweries. Currently no real cider but serves craft keg cider - Bad Apple from Herefordshire. Small parking area to the rear.
