An excellent example of how to expand a pubs trading area by sympathetically creating new separate rooms. Before 1982 the only public rooms were the public bar and the little used 'Men's Kitchen' behind. The bar retains its old counter front (new top), old basic red painted bar back shelves, red painted partition, bare wall bench seating attached to tongue and groove dado panelled walls and a brick floor. A wall to the left of the bar was removed in 1982 and the licensee's private room on a lower level converted to a small quarry tiled floored area with a new small counter and wall bench seating / panelling added to match that in the original part. The games room beyond was originally a stable/barn. Behind the bar the flagstone floored former Men's Kitchen never had a bar until 1982. A photograph in the pub shows two large settles in this room which were removed by Adnams before they sold the pub in the 1980s. It retains tongue and groove panelling on walls and ceiling. At the rear is a small 'Garden Room' built on in the early 1990s. The dining room on the far right was a store room.
