A very smart Sam Smith's house, having undergone a thorough and classy refurbishment around 2006. On the right is a spacious vault and to the left three additional rooms - a large lounge with parquet, wraps itself around the bar counter, whilst off this is a smaller carpeted lounge and a snug. At the rear is a spacious garden with plenty of seating to enjoy summer days in. Truly at the heart of the community with a variety of groups using the pub to raise funds for community improvement projects and such. Regular events include a quiz night, Hoy bingo on Mondays, Thirsty Thursdays, "What's in your box?" Friday, "Lucky Plucker" on Saturday, and even a knitting club. Food is served weekdays 12-2, supplemented by a Sunday carvery. Local CAMRA branch Pub of the Year 2018.

Historic Interest

It came into Samuel Smith ownership in 1948 when they bought out original owners, Rochdale & Manor Brewery.
