A family run village inn with parts dating back to the 17th century with many artifacts. Focal point is the welcoming lounge with open fire and bar. There are also two cosy adjacent dining areas with a further dining/function room. The separate public bar includes a pool table and TV but more importantly a gent’s toilet bedecked in numerous different wall tiles from a bombed Liverpool factory. Wednesday quiz nights and Thursday curry nights are very popular. Some events include the monthly Pujab Thali night (specialist homemade curries) and a gin tasting evening. Beers on offer are from the Facer's range.
One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest
Listed status: Not listed
This old four-roomed village pub had a most unusual refit just after the war and materials used, particularly in the loos, include items from demolished houses in Liverpool. The parquet-floored public bar has a set of six leaded glass windows with inserts of different Welsh scenes, a large limestone and brick fireplace, and a bar-back fitting all dating from the 1940s; the counter is difficult to date but could be 40 years old. The gents' accessed from this bar has amazing walls of multi-coloured pieces of tiling from Victorian houses. The lounge bar has a 1940s large limestone and brick fireplace but the bar fittings are modern. A room on a lower level has another impressive fireplace and beyond that is what looks like someone's living room. Both the ladies’ and gents’ toilets here are worth a look with their walls of green Art Deco vitreous glass panels; the gents’ has two massive urinals from the 1930s. To the left of the rear main entrance is another (dining) room also with a large 1930s limestone and brick fireplace.
