Friendly pub on the outskirts of the urban area offering three well-kept beers and excellent value home-cooked meals. Three distinct areas include the bar, lounge and restaurant, along with a dartboard. A heated covered smoking area with a TV provides a comfortable setting for those inclined to spend their time outside, along with a large beer garden for families to spend time with their children. In summer the beer garden is adorned with a fabulous display of colourful flowers. Families are welcome in the pub, as are well-behaved dogs. In the bar, there's a handy collection box for recyclable batteries, printer cartridges and spectacles. Since opening in 1840, there have been just 19 licensees with a long succession being local brewers, of which the Allen family held the record. Level access from the car park is to the bar only.
