A large Free House, serving up to a number of cask ales alongside an impressive selection of modern craft ales.

It offers a variety of drinking areas including two main bars and a garden, and has an interesting range of food in the restaurant.

There's a full traditional Carvery every Sunday (with 3 meats carved for you and you can help yourself to fresh vegetables). Booking is always advisable to secure a table.

There's live entertainment most Fridays, from bands to karaoke, all semi professionals, including Jazz, Soul, Motown, Reggae, rock, etc with the occasional Sunday afternoon Jazz, and Friday/Saturday music.

The building dates from the early 17th century, with late 20th century alterations.

There's an annual gin festival, with over 240 different types available.

Note: only open until 2300 on bank holidays.
