A former coal miners' inn near to the site of Neston Colliery which closed in 1927. Converted from two cottages, it has a public bar with real fire in winter and a basic lounge. Both rooms have quarry-tiled floors, low ceilings and exposed beams, In a glorious location on the new Deeside to Neston part of the national cycle network, the pub overlooks the Dee Marshes and North Wales with a large garden and a drinking area abutting the edge of the marshes. Evening meals only on Tuesday - Curry night, booking advisable. Access has been significantly improved following much needed resurfacing work on the road leading to the pub - although a couple of times a year the road can be flooded but rarely impassable at high tide. Pub of Excellence Award in 2023.
