Situated on part of the ground floor of the former White Hart pub and hotel, the entrance is at the rear of the building via several steps.
As at November 2026 the pub is open Wednesday to Sunday and cask ale may not always be available (visitors may wish to check the latter with the pub if appropriate - e.g. current beers are described on the website (or sometimes on the Facebook and/or Instagram pages)).
The pub aims to serve quality beers, ciders and wines. As at November 2026 there are up to eight keg lines at the pub, usually including a German lager, and otherwise serving a variety of craft/keg ales (sometimes from Burnt Mill, DEYA, Duration, Pretty Decent, Stump Rat or Verdant), plus cans and bottles.
Opening hours may vary as the business develops and visitors may wish to confirm them with the pub (e.g. by messaging) or by checking the website.
The bar consists of a single room, with a large bay window and fireplace.
The décor inside the bar consists of a mix of partially exposed brickwork with white walls, wooden flooring and bare electric lights, whilst wooden topped tables and metal chairs provide seating with additional high seats by the bay window.
The bar is proving to be popular with a wide range of clientele and with its intention to act as a community hub.
