A friendly street-corner urban pub with a comfortable garden. Dating back to Victorian times, the pub has a variety of different seating areas giving customers the choice of sitting on comfortable sofas, at a table, or a stool at the bar. The log fire keeps you warm in winter months. There is a road-side seating area to the front. A covered area for smokers can be found in the garden. The jukebox plays an eclectic mix. Families and dogs are welcome.

Bingo and a quiz alternate on Wednesdays at 8:30pm-ish. The meat draw is every Sunday at 4:30pm-ish. Occasional live music. Two darts teams: Men's on Mondays and Ladies' on Thursdays.

Historic Interest

Built circa 1860, possibly as 'The Swan' though we can find no proof of this.
