Large Town centre pub with a large curved bar which is a leftover from the days when this was Yates's Wine Lodge and customers would form an orderly queue at the bar to be served in order and then leave the bar with their drinks. The upstairs drinking area has its own bar, two pool tables, with great views over looking the busy road at the front of the pub. Also upstairs is a large outside drinking/smoking area with tables/seats, this closes 30 minutes before closing time.
Plans to convert to a Slug and Lettuce branded pub with a loss of the upstairs area etc have been shelved.
