Listed status: Not listed
This pub has three very small original rooms and an unusual layout. From the front door a corridor leads to the middle of the building and continues to the right which leads to a front lounge and rear tap room, each with a servery counter. The tap room has an old bar back and a bar counter that is at least 50 years old. Cast iron and tiled fireplace looks an early twentieth century one and the fixed benches are probably older with baffles at each end. This bar appears to have been re-roofed, as there are modern rooflights installed.
The lounge has what could be a bar counter at least 50 years old with a modern top, the bar back was replaced in 2016; oldish fixed seating, but a modern fireplace. The darts room fixed seating could also be 50 years old; similarly, the dado panelling in the corridor. On the left of the entrance is a conservatory/beer garden alongside the road formed from a former yard.
A remarkable survivor considering it is owned by an international brewery company.
This Pub serves no changing beers and 4 regular beers.
