The two bars of this pub are adorned with a wonderful collection of bottles, breweriana and historical photos. The family friendly left hand bar has recently been extended and features the TV. The nine handpumps are in the quieter right hand bar. Its ceiling is hung with pump clips. A regular cider and a perry plus a guest cider are also available. Large beer garden with accommodation block at the rear of the premises. Outside pizza shed. There are two beer festivals each year, an Easter aperitif then the main event in September, which raise money for local charitable causes.
