One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest
Listed status: Not listed
A delightful no-nonsense village local where much survives from a 1960s makeover. Ahead of the left-hand door is a further door behind which is an off-sales, known as 'the slip', and which is still in regular use selling drinks, sweets and even some toys. The public bar on the right has a sloping 1960s ply panelled counter with a formica top and shelving of the same vintage behind. The lounge is accessed from the right-hand door and passage. The counter is also from the 1960s scheme but has a new top and plain frontage - the bar back has not been changed. Around 2014 the room was extended to nearly three times its size.

It was often used by some ladies who preferred not to venture into the pub proper.
