A three-storey stone building, this pub has been in the same family since 1951 and was refitted just after that date. The left hand public bar and off sales are unchanged since.

The left-hand exterior door leads into a lobby with a door on the left to the off sales which has a dado of ply panelling and a surviving 1950s bar counter (minus its flap).

The public bar is ply panelled to two-thirds height and lino floored. The L-shaped bar counter, which curves at the right-hand end, has a ply panelled front and a (replacement)Formica top. The gantry sports glass shelves on a very 1950/60s mirror mosaic and red Formica lower shelving. Look for the gas heater over the inner door which is still used in winter.

The right-hand exterior door leads to the lounge with pool and darts. This was a store until converted in the 1980s.
