A historic building that has been refurbished and changes have been made to make the most of what The Black Boy has to offer, such as extending the bar so that it can now cater for the seven real ales and craft ciders that are on draught.

Though it’s newly refurbished, The Black Boy still has a traditional inn feel.

“With two log burners we plan on keeping you warm and cosy for the rest of the winter. Sink in to a sofa, sample some ale, have a glass of wine or a great cup of coffee and sample some of our traditional pub fayre.”

A real ale loyalty card, open to all, is being launched that will take 40p a pint off the full retail price on a Wednesday all day. Camra members can have a 20p per pint discount off the full retail price on real ales at all times on production of a membership card.

The Black Boy has a tasty menu of pub classics using local produce. The menu includes relaxed meals that will definitely fill a hole, such as The Black Boy cheese and bacon burger, king prawn and chorizo linguine and Slow braised bbq ribs, served with coleslaw, corn on the cob and skinny fries. It's also open for breakfast daily from 9-11am.

Seven en-suite letting rooms are available and there is a large outside courtyard seating area.

A Victorian brewery was located on this site.
