Licensed 1721 and rebuilt in 1934 with a Tudor style frontage. Small cosy bar with dark panelling, moulded ceiling, copper covered counter and leaded windows. Five handpumps including normally three Lilley's ciders. The upstairs restaurant also serves as a function room. The wide food menu includes Sunday roasts.
Rebuilt 1934 with a mock Tudor frontage. The bar on the ground floor has a modern wood floor, inter-war fielded panelling to picture-frame height all around the room (that on the rear wall is painted a gastro-grey colour), the Tudor arch shaped fireplace looks original, there is a plaster relief cornice of grapes bunches and acanthus leaves picked out in green and purple, also some little birds in black. The fielded panelled bar counter is claimed to be only 5 years old and has a copper top, but looks older.
There is a first floor bar with carpet, original fielded panelling to two-thirds height, original Tudor arch shaped fireplace of wood with a modern interior. The counter here does look modern and the bar back is the same as the ground floor one so is only five years old. Throughout the room is a different cornice with detail nicely picked out in yellow, red (Tudor rose), black (bunch of grapes) etc. Leaded exterior windows. The fixed seating with carving at the top is a later addition but in keeping with other fittings. Two original ‘Bar’ etched and frosted windows now in frames on the wall.
Closed Sundays.
