The public bar of this food-led pub has barely changed since being refitted in the late 1950s. The bar-back has 'Whitbread' illuminated panels at the top, a glass block backing and some Formica shelves. Most fittings like these have been ripped out of pubs in recent years making this one a rare survivor. The counter, wood-backed fixed seating with two baffles and stone fireplace all date from the refit, the only change being a new wood counter top above the old Formica one. Note the old Bass Blue Triangle glass-fronted sign on the wall. To the right an arch leads to a room that was extended by removing a wall and fireplace. The front section retains a two door leaded glass panel hatch to the side of the bar with a Formica top and old bare-bench bay window seating. A two-part dining room on the left has no old fittings. The function room on the right can be converted to a skittle alley.
