Pub dating from 1853 owned by Samuel Smiths since 1921; hand-pumps went out of use Summer 2005 but subsequently returned for a time. Pub sign at least shows a potter with the wheel rather than a wheelwright - old alternative name for Wrenthorpe being Potovens. Note that there's also a New Wheel pub in the village.

Asset of Community Value

Two storey building of brick and stone. There are two separate bars which appear to have lots of fittings from the 1960s.

The public bar on the right has doors that are of a distinct 1960s style and a lino tiled floor (age?). The curved wooden bar counter front also looks very 1960s with a Formica top. The bar back is a mixture of old and new with glass shelves being a feature of c1960 pubs and ribbed hardboard at the to (recently painted grey) which is seen in 1960s pubs. Some of the lower shelving has been lost to fridges. Past the servery a wall has full-height wood panelling that matches the doors and looks very 1960s. The fixed seating has an Art Deco style (i.e. looks more late 30s than 1950s) and the stone fireplace looks like a c.1960 one.

On the left another door that of a distinct 1960s style leads to a two-part carpeted lounge bar. At the front there is a curved stone counter front which could be of any age but possibly 1960s with a wooden top. The bar back is as described for the public bar. Fixed seating looks 1960s and there is a very c.1960s stone fireplace.

An unusual pointed arch of azed wood leads to a games room / area with another curved stone counter front which is 1960s work with a wooden top. The (bare) bar back fitting looks 1960s with some ribbed hardboard at the top and sides (recently painted grey) and glass shelves. At the rear is a stone fireplace almost reaching the ceiling with could date from c.1960, more 1960s fixed seating; also a pool table on a modernish lino tiled floor. The gents toilet is little altered.
