A relatively small but busy Wetherspoon pub, once a bed shop, in the heart of a vibrant local community. Up to eight beers are served as well as at least three box ciders. The pub is open plan and split-level with a small heated outdoor patio at the rear, and a recently added patio area to the front and side. It was voted Wetherspoon's regional community pub of the year 2008-2009. There are high ceilings and it is light with plenty of seating throughout including a family dining area at the back. Local history is the theme of the décor, with reference to a local preacher, Robert Bateman, who was the band leader on the ill-fated Titanic. No car park, but a public car park just behind the pub. Accessible to those in wheelchairs. Guide dogs only.
