Situated on the main street of Old Duston village, the pub is virtually unchanged with its attractive ironstone walls and thatched roof. In 1955 it was a Phipps & Company tied house. The layout of the pub contains a comfortable lounge area upon entry, a restaurant to to the left, and a separate bar to the rear. Refurbished in August 2022, it has an updated decor/colour scheme providing a more modern yet traditional feel. There is an enormous beer garden which gets the sun all day and is home to their famous Summer garden parties. Again, the garden has been completely revamped by the new owner making it a popular venue for all.

Information for this venue is provided by the Northamptonshire Branch of CAMRA
