Smart Wetherspoon outlet, refurbished to a very high standard; the impression is of separate areas and walls of oak, with the lengthy bar at the back and a beer patio to the side of the pub. All the usual Wetherspoon promotions apply. Building is of historical interest and was saved from falling into severe disrepair by massive investment by Wetherspoon in 2013. Note some of the original 400 years old ceiling and wall posts in the front room. Like many 'spoons' this outlet appears to be a keen supporter of smaller local breweries. Of course food is served all day every day.
Former coaching inn which was last altered in the 1960s. Passage from the front door to the centre of the pub with an etched panel on the inner door. The front left small room has old panelling, wall bench seating and a fireplace which looks from the 1960s. The front right room has a counter and bar back which looks 1960s as does the fixed seating and stone fireplace. The main open-plan bar area has a 1960 curved stone bar, bar back looks 1960s and there is a small room off to the left. To the right a small area, almost a room with more 1960s fixed seating and stone fireplace. At the end of a passage to the rear is a function room with good ceiling, a 1930s wood surround fireplace, stage but new bar and bar back. Room appears to have been extended back. Possible R I as little altered in 40 years.
