This pub sits off the main road in substantial grounds from which can be glimpsed St Botolphs Church, a 13th-14th Century flint and brick building with a thatch roof. Adjacent to the pub car park is a large grassed garden with bench seating and a gravel court for boules. A paved patio with covered seating leads from the car park to the pub's entrance above which is a Norwich Brewery Co lamp. Inside the building is a characterful old pub displaying horse-related memorabilia with a dining area and several distinct drinking areas.
