Located in a small side street, the pub has a wonderful country pub feel inside, with a homely bar as you enter and a separate area to the rear. Small patio area and covered smoking area is accessed via a corridor, a great place to relax in the summer, as the landlord keeps it packed with colourful flowers. Purchased and refurbished by Black Country Ales, it reopened in December 2025.

Cobs and pork pies are available.
