Large one bar pub with various distinct areas and a welcoming atmosphere. Large variety of seating, from high stools, chairs and upholstered benches, with appropriate tables. Painted, panellled and wallpapered walls with some interesting pictures e.g. ‘Lord Nelson’s Villa’ and the Liberty works. Note leaded glass in upper windows. Flooring a mixture of tiling and polished wood.

A Liiley's cider available on handpump.

The current building dates from 1897 although it is understood a pub of the same name stood in what is now the pub car park from the early 18th century. It was the Old Leather Bottle for a time. Reopened Saturday 8 June 2024 after refurbishment. (Previous reopening 22 May 2015 after refurbishment.)
