A popular town local which had a much improved beer range since becoming 'ex-Greene King'. Situated away from the busy high street, it had a lively atmosphere, especially when darts and petanque teams were visiting! The large garden behind housed the petanque terrain and regular barbecues were held in summer. Parking in front of pub was limited but there was a public car park 300 yards away. Live music on Wednesday & Sunday evenings.

The building dates from the mid 19th century, though it has an early 18th century core.

The pub closed some time mid or late in 2018 and a planning application to turn it into a religious centre has been lodged.

Owner/operator: Greene King
Good local with many games including petanque, children's play equipment and swimming pool in the enclosed garden. The pub has featured many times in the GBG.
