Centrally located small hotel whose pub is the most frequented by younger clientele, particularly at the weekends, when queues can often be seen to get in to the rear lounge. Local bands, karaoke and pub quizzes are regular features.
The public bar to the front is low-ceilinged and has lots of little corners for separate groups to gather. Adjacent is a separately run restaurant which also does a take-away service.
No real ale currently served.
