A brick-built village pub with no less than six small rooms which have extensive parquet flooring and inter-war firpelaces. The entrance lobby has seating on either side. A passage runs to the public bar in the heart of the pub (bar fittings replaced in the early 2000s). At the rear right is the small tap room with a red quarry-tiled floor and service via a very small, recently replaced counter. Left are two more small rooms, now linked by a wide gap. The front one has a partition wall to the passage: that at the rear contains settle seating. Right of the passage is the lounge, larger than the other rooms, with a couple of settles (the counter seems a recent replacement). Far right there is door marked ‘Private but brought into use at busy times.
Brick-built village pub still retaining six small rooms. The exterior lobby has seating on either side. A passage with a parquet floor, fielded panelling to picture frame height on the right hand wall and a partition wall on the left with a row of frosted glazed panels along the top runs from the front door to the public bar in the centre of the pub. This small room has a parquet floor, a 1930s brick fireplace with log fire, a couple of settles but the bar fittings were replaced in the early 2000s.

At the rear right is the small tap room which has a red quarry-tiled floor, another inter-war brick fireplace with a log fire, fixed bench seating on two sides but service is via a recently replaced small bar counter almost a hatch.

The rear one has a parquet floor, a 1930s brick fireplace and settle seating.

To the right of the passage is the lounge, a room that is much larger than the others with a part parquet floor, another 1930s brick fireplace, two settles and a small counter where the front looks a recent replacement.
