Set on a residential side road in Bevois Valley, the pub is a genuine free house carrying a wide range of real ales from local and national breweries, all served from handpumps. New owners took over in August 2015, giving the pub a refurbishment and opening a new back room, known as the 'Dog House', along with a patio space. Both are compact but make imaginative use of the space. The cellar has been completely re-fitted, and the beer quality across this wide range is very good indeed.
Currently (2024) there are 11 hand pumps; normally up to seven beers are available but more when football crowds are expected. A range of bottled beers is also behind the bar.
A Thai curry night is held on Wednesdays; pies are regularly sold on Southampton FC home match days; the pub may also open early for home games depending on kick-off time.
The pub has several awards and was voted Southern Hampshire CAMRA Pub of the Year 2018, adding to many past awards.
