Recently bought (March 2025) from the remnants of the Burton Bridge Brewery estate by the With Neil Morrissey Pub Company, this cosy local is located at the end of an 18th-century terrace of cottages.

Internally, it features a narrow central bar with a small room at one end served through a hatch, and an impressive oak panelled room at the other, plus a meeting/club/TV room to the rear.

A selection of Belgian bottled beers, English fruit wines and malt whiskies are also stocked.

Food is currently limited to filled cobs.

MAJOR REFURBISHMENT PLANNED 23rd JUNE - 3rd JULY 2025 WHEN THE PUB WILL BE CLOSED.

Historic Interest

Originally built in the 18th-century as a cottage, but became a beer-house in the 19th-century (earliest record 1835, although its name is not mentioned until 1874), probably for the benefit of workers employed at a brick-works to the rear. Grassy hillocks, the remains of the clay workings, can still be seen behind the pub. Privately owned until ~1878, when bought by the Ratcliff family (of Bass, Ratcliff & Gretton). It became and remained a Bass pub until 1989, when it was sold to a private owner. It continued as a privately-owned free-house until sold to Hardys & Hansons in 2005, shortly before H & H were taken over by Greene King in 2006. The pub was bought by the Burton Bridge Brewery in November 2011, then subsequently by the With Neil Morrissey Pub Company in March 2025.
