A typical Victorian local where there is a friendly welcome given to all. Dog friendly, and with a skittle alley and television for sports. Rugby normally takes preference over football but most big matches shown, and big screen in main bar. There is a quieter room with pool table, crib competitions and separate bar. Occasionally real cider available. One changing cask ale is always available, with two on special occasions e.g. a Christmas Ale or for a local CAMRA meeting. Supports CAMRA's aims. No smoking area except on quiet street outside. This is a free house and run by a well known couple.
