From the front door there is a colourful Victorian tiled floor. A door on the right leads to a small public bar with a black and white tiled floor, old panelled bar counter with diagonally laid panels and an added top section to bring the counter from a grocery shelf height to bar level. The old bar back shelves remain except some lower shelves which have been replaced by fridges. Note the unusual two slim drawers in the shelving on the right. The fixed seating is just post-war and recovered. The passage has a hatch to the side of the servery which looks like it was added in the 1960s. On the left two small rooms have been combined – the rear room was a domestic kitchen and old range cooker remains – and apart from the panelled ceiling there are no old fittings. It still retains an off license shop in Shore Street.
