Slaters Arms

This three-roomed village pub built c.1860 has a rare feature - a very active intact off-sales. The slate floored area is situated just inside the door with service via a sliding hatch window and an old shelf opposite. It is popular with children buying sweets displayed in the window alongside, but there are still some customers who buy take away drinks! The pub was recently bought by Celt Experience Brewery, who have exposed the slate floor in the main bar on the right. It retains an old bar counter but new panels have recently been added to the front, and a new top has replaced the Formica one added in the 1960s. Some bar back shelves may be old as is the wide arch over the counter. This small room has a massive inglenook style fireplace with a high mantelshelf held up by six decorative brackets, a brick interior and a coal fire. Two ceiling supports above the fireplace have their grapes decoration picked out in colour. In the past the main public bar was the only room but a small lounge on the left was added and last modernised in the 1960s. Also in the 1960s the rear former private quarters were converted into what is now the pool room, which has a lino-tiled floor and slate fireplace. Folk music 1st Wed. of the month.
