Large flint clad pub, situated just around the corner from Old Chimneys brewery. The majority of the building is given over to dining (no food Sun. eve), including a non-smoking restaurant, but the distinct front bar area is kept for drinkers. A good restoration of a pub which had been closed for two years.
