Adjacent to the Fat Cat Brewery, many of whose beers are available most of the time, this welcoming pub serves a wide range of quality cask ales, alongside several real ciders and craft and bottled beers.

Loaded fries and other hot food is available.

The large and airy main bar features a distinctive solid oak bar top, and has plenty of seating and a small stage at one end, where regular live music events are held. Old brewery and beer adverts and other brewery paraphernalia decorate the walls and roof space, where you'll also find a working set of traffic lights, which indicate whether the bar is open or not!

The pub has two outside seating areas: a large expanse of grass at the front, open to the road, and an enclosed and covered patio and garden at the rear. There's cycle parking at the front, and a small car park.

Built in the 1970s as the Wherry, the pub was bought and significantly refurbished in 2005 by Colin Keatley, as the second in the Fat Cat group, and subsequently sold to long-term landlords Mark and Laura White in 2020.
