A 1930s Tudor-style roadhouse built for Hewitt's Brewery of Grimsby, as can be seen from the stained and leaded windows in each of the original front rooms. That three-room layout is still clearly discernible but wide arches have replaced the doors (and with a puzzling change of level to the right). Original features include the oak panelling throughout, the oak-fronted bar counter and the Tudor-style stone-effect fireplace in the bar - but the bar back may be a reconstruction. A large rear extension houses the dining room.
1930's Tudor style roadhouse built for Hewitt's of Grimsby with stained and leaded windows advertising this fact in each of the three main front rooms, lounge, public bar and smoke room. Colourful, tile-hung exterior with a portico incorporating wooden barley twist columns. The original three room layout is clearly visible but now there are wide arches between the rooms, with a puzzling change of level to the right.. Oak panelled throughout it retains the original oak-fronted bar counter, rebuilt (?) bar back and a Tudor stone-effect fireplace in the bar. Large extension at the rear housing a dining room. The toilets have been removed from the left hand side. The small room that now occupies the far left part of the pub now is home to ‘Waggon Stores’, a small shop and newsagents.
