DJs & live music feature on some Friday & Saturday nights, There is a rear courtyard used as a smoking area and a roof garden with views of the castle. Accommodation is offered in nine rooms. Children are allowed until 8pm. Neither the pub nor the rooms are suitable for wheelchair users.

The real ales are always from local breweries and are reasonably priced.
