Friendly village local which has been an inn since 1724. Main bar features original inglenook fireplace fitted with wood-burning stove. A snug is located off the bar and there is a separate cosy room across the corridor. A new dining area extension was added in December 2014. Home cooked, good value meals are available all day until 8pm (Mon-Sat) and 5pm (Sun). Monday is steak night and Tuesday is curry night. Pleasant outdoor drinking areas located at the back and front areas of the pub. Outdoor children’s play area also. While the regular beers are now brewed in Wolverhampton, one beer from Thwaites scaled-down brewery in Blackburn is usually on sale along with two others from the same stable.

Historic Interest

Building is Grade 2 listed, dating from 1724 and features a slightly quirky layout.
