A modern M&B pub, originally Charringtons, but now part of the Sizzling Pubs chain with a quirky design featuring a stubby, circular, faux 'pottery kiln' tower forming a 'hinge' around which the rest of the building has been constructed. Adjacent to old clay pits, an aerial cableway almost directly overhead once transported raw material across Norcot Road for the firing of bricks at nearby Grovelands. An emphasis on value-for-money food and drink is now complemented by the reinstatement of real ale in 2023 following the 2020 pandemic. Food offer of two mains for £14 Mon/Fri and cask ale is £2.90 Mon & Tue. The introduction of a breakfast menu and opening times will commence from September 2026 when the pub will be open from 10am throughout the week.
