The patio area looks onto the road which can be busy at times, but plenty of chairs with large umbrellas can make outside dining quite pleasant. As at October 2018 car parking is no longer available opposite the pub and finding somewhere to park may be tricky! In addition to two real ales and local cider there is an extensive wine and spirits list. A thriving pub for locals who have what is effectively is their 'own bar' and a separate bar which leads to the restaurant. Several skittle teams keep the alley well-used and the pub lively.
