Hosts two beer festivals each year in March and June with as many as 40 beers, as well as a tap-takeover in October. 10 Real ales and four or five craft kegs on at all other times. The attractive patio area at the rear hosts a food wagon on rugby match days.

Licensed as an alehouse in the 17th-Century, people believe that some of its beams could have come from Drake's Golden Hind which began life as the Pelican. Rescued and refurbished by Wye Valley Brewery in 2012.
