This free house is situated in a village location and changed its name in March 2023. Seating is in the main bar or the courtyard garden and other outside seating is available on the other side of the road to the pub itself adjacent to the car park. In the separate restaurant area to the rear of the pub a traditional pub menu is available providing food cooked to order. Green Jack ales are served on gravity from the tap room.
Although we know the pub dates back at least to the 1830s, the current building has the date 1861 marked on it, so must have replaced an older one.
