This is an attractive tile hung building with a large brick inglenook covered in horse brasses in the flag stoned lounge, and is popular with walkers and cyclists. In total there are three separate drinking and eating areas on the ground floor. The one to the right of the central bar is the public bar and has some very comfortable seating in it and the one to the left is mainly used by diners. Parts of the building date from the 14th century, although most is newer. There is also a room upstairs which can be used for meetings and functions, but also as an overflow eating or drinking area if the pub is busy. Previously a freehouse, Hall & Woodhouse bought the pub in 1991, it was then sold back to the free trade and is now again a family run freehouse rather than part of a small chain. There are usually two guest beers. There are popular roasts on Sunday and a children's menu. A shop can be found in an outbuilding; this is usually open 10-2 and 5-7 Tuesday to Saturday and noon-4 Sunday.
