This comfortable single roomed pub features a TV screen above the fireplace as you enter (another TV is in an alcove to the left), with a bar projecting from the centre of the right wall. Above the modern bar counter is an attractive wooden leaded glass pot rack. Opposite this is another comfortable seating area. Proceeding to the back, there is a wooden floored area which is used as a dance floor; also here is a seating area, a DJ booth in the corner, plus two further TV screens. There are a few tables in the well-tended beer garden which is also the smoking area. Karaoke and music are a feature of weekend evenings. History: The Horse & Jockey made a very welcome return to the real ale fold in early 2017, after many years as a keg-only establishment. That cask ale period unfortunately ended in late 2018.
