A multi-room, early 19th-century pub which appears to have been refitted in the 1950s and is little changed since then. So many of the features appear to date from that time, notably the unusual (but typical of its time) counter of split logs, and also the bar-back, seating, fireplaces and faux half-timbering. The left door from the passage leads to the tap room in an extension to the original building. The former village post office and store on the right-hand end of the building has now been converted into a restaurant.

Early 19th-century inn of brown brick construction. This multi-roomed pub appears to have been refitted in the 1950s and is barely changed since. The main bar has an unusual counter front of split logs and the bar-back could well date from the 1950s. Left and the right of the front door are areas of 1950s fixed seating, a 1950s brick fireplace with a plaster crest of the Hatton Arms (now hidden by a TV screen) and some half-timbering on the walls.

A door on the left side of the pub leads into a short passage and a sliding door on the right leads to the small Racing Room with 1950s fixed seating, a 1950s brick fireplace with a plaster crest of the Hatton Arms (now hidden by a TV screen), there is some half-timbering and a bell-push but it has lost the door to the main bar.

The left door from the passage leads to the tap room in an extension to the original building. It has 1950s fixed seating, an interesting stone fireplace which could date from the 1950s and old 'publican's rustic' scrubbed tables. On the right of the main bar is a door with the figure '3' on it that leads to another small room with 1950s fixed seating, a more impressive 1950s brick fireplace than the others with a plaster crest of the Hatton Arms (now hidden by a TV screen), some half-timbering on the walls, a bell-push and disused exterior door.

The former village post office and store on the right-hand end of the building has been converted into a restaurant called the Lion's Den. Opens at 5 Mon to Thu in winter.
