Home to darts and crib teams with live music once a month.

There is easy access from the A419 and M4 Junction 15.

Historic Interest

The first beerhouse here probably opened in the 1840s but by 1859 a new building had been erected by the owner, Thomas Stroud.

Arkell's bought the pub in 1899 and until 1974 it was still called The Plough.
