A nineteenth-century, Grade II listed, canal-side building which has retained a little of its character despite being transformed from an old basic boozer into a Harvester Inn several years ago. Now part of the Vintage Inn chain the pub has a traditional bar. Real ale festivals were held annually under canvas in the garden usually around the time of the late May bank holiday.
Fully refurbished in July 2024.
