Cosy pub just to the east end of the town on the site of the former Walker's Wellington Brewery. with quirky low ceilings and a relaxed atmosphere with no gaming machines and a TV that is muted.

Annual beer festivals on August bank holiday weekend. Regular live music and open mic nights on the third Thursday of each month. Quizzes fortnightly on Tuesday nights There is a large outdoor area and small car park at the front of the pub.
