A relatively small town pub with a historic interior, where the main bar has lots of wood panelling, a large open fireplace and a lovely etched window in the front door.. The walls are adorned with sporting pictures and some fine old brewery mirrors. A few large screen TVs are kept at low volume and often feature horse racing. A few steps up at the rear is a small games room with a pool table, darts and a jukebox.. No real ale here.

One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest
Listed status: B
Early 19th-century, small town pub with a little-altered bar and a small pool room. The tiny jug bar on the left is no longer separated, following the removal of the partition in c.1980, but the colourful window glass was retained and is now re-sited at the rear of the bar. Both the back gantry, with a large 'Wm Braithwaite' mirror as a centre feature, and the wood-panelled walls with benches attached could be 100 years old. The bar counter has been replaced, possibly 30-odd years ago, but it retains an old set of disused handpumps and a water tap. There are two large brewery mirrors advertising 'Bernard’s Pale Ale', and one for \John Jeffrey’s Mild & Pale Ales' situated over the fireplace, and another for Mitchell Whisky. The inner doors have 'Crown' and 'Bar' on colourful glass panels. At the rear of the bar up a small flight of steps is a pool room, which has been brought into use in recent years.
