Two small rooms and a lobby bar. The latter on the right retains its old bare wooden flooring, benches, and servery fittings. There's a small smoke room at the front left (advertised in the door glass) with original fixed seating, a draught screen and bell-pushes all around. The rear room (formerly two separate ones) also has a draught screen, original fixed seating and bell-pushes all around the room but part of the wall at the rear right has been removed. Sadly the attractive inter-war tiled dado in the entrance passage and lobby has been over-painted.
