Screens separate various areas with different themes, including walls featuring book covers & photos of PG Wodehouse, local photos and bookshelves. The main menu offers a wide variety of modern pub food, with additional sandwich, bar snack and children menus. Extra seating is provided outside on the front small patio area and on the rear patio/garden.
