A former Watneys house dating back to 1873 replacing the Cricketers, it was bought by Young's in 2007 from the Spirit Group and a major refurbishment followed. The pub now prides itself on its food and drink. A menu of freshly prepared dishes is available throughout the pub from the open kitchen including in the raised dining area. The walls are decorated with stills and posters from various films. The pub boasts five rooms that can be hired for functions - the upstairs common room with its own bar and large screen TV, the Summer House, the Potting Shed, the Arbour and the Study.
