A reasonably intact inter-war 'Brewer's Tudor' pub built on the site of an earlier one. In the front bar, the panelled counter and stone-arched fireplace are as-built, likewise the lower portion of the bar back and the decorative woodwork above the staff doorway. Other features are more recent. The lounge was extended backwards, perhaps in the 1960s, but the front part retains its fielded panelling with decorative strapwork - there is also decoration (three arches) in the panelling above the fine fireplace. The 'Ladies' stained glass door panel is original but must have been moved, given its position in the extension. Both gents' toilets sport original urinals and terrazzo floors.
