Built in 1873, this unspoilt, comfortably furnished, single room, backstreet pub had featured in the Guide for many years due to the cellarmanship of the previous licensee. It is good to report that the new licensees have continued to serve beer at the same high standard. Ales at a reasonable price are one attraction, others are the friendly atmosphere, traditional pub games, sport – particularly horse racing and football – on the two TV screens and an attractive garden at the rear with a great play area for children.
