This Pub is Closed Long Term

Under new ownership. since October 19, 2019, this well decorated and comfortable pub reopened in February 2019, after a period of closure. There are two distinct areas, one that acts as a tap area and the other as a lounge/dining area. Welcoming to drinkers and diners alike. Often busy and popular on weekend evenings. The changing guest beer may be sourced either locally or further afield and has dropped in price since changing hands. On mondays the real ale is priced at just £2.50 a pint. A few tables front the pub and there is a nice beer garden to the rear, which contains a children's play area. There is a general knowledge quiz on thursday evenings and live music most Saturdays. Since reopening after the virus lockdown it has been selling beers from the new local brewery, Gorilla in nearby Mexborough. Subject to an application to partially demolish and convert to housing on 20th January 2023.
