Situated high above the town, this late 19th-century stone-built pub retains a traditional layout of entrance passage with off-sales ahead and small bars left and right. The distinctive dado panelling on most of the walls dates from a refit of about 1965 which is also when the servery was brought forward from the cellar steps. Little has changed since. The left-hand room has a chunky 1960s bar counter, fixed seating of the same era or a little earlier and a bar back of mixed vintage. In the other bar, the sloping counter and bar-back fittings are from the 1965 refurb but the tiled fireplace is of the 1930s.
Late 19th-century stone built pub situated high above the town and still retaining a traditionally layout of entrance passage leading to an off sales and small bars to left and right. The walls throughout have a distinctive dado of what looks like wood which was added as part of a refit in c.1965, when the servery was brought forward from cellar steps, and the pub has barely changed since. On the left a sliding door leads to a very small room with a chunky wooden bar counter which looks like 60s work, the fixed seating is at least 50/60s but it has lost a fireplace. One section of bar back looks 60s work, the other more modern. The bar on the right has a sloping counter installed in c.1965 and the bar back fitting with its small glass pieces does look very 60s. This room has a 1930s tiled fireplace and a good ceiling rose. Outside gents’.
