Website

Formerly a pub which was last owned by Marston's, it is now one of a chain of Italian restaurants. 'Italian tapas' style food all day. The pub has been extended, and there is now a large open-plan modern interior. Apart from a single high table near the entrance, all tables are set out for dining, so this is essentially a restaurant. There is however an attractive patio and lawned garden at the side. It used to sell Pedigree, but there is no cask ale now.

Historic Interest

The Brewery History Society lists Offiler's (Derby), Everard's, and Marston's as former owners.
