Although this pub is not a listed building, it is a One Star pub on the Campaign for Real Ale’s (CAMRA) National Inventory with an interior of special national historic interest, and the description is as follows: "Rebuilt in the inter-war period this brick and rendered two-storey pub retains a number of its original fittings.

The main bar at the front (originally three rooms or two rooms and off sales) has fielded panelling on the walls to two-thirds height, with a bare wood floor and a 1930s brick fireplace on the right. The bar counter front has square panels and looks to date from the 1930s, as does the bar-back fitting although some modern embellishments like white tiles have been applied. The bar-back is unusual in that protruding from the top enclosed shelving with wood-framed openings. The doorway on the rear left also looks inter-war and leads to a small room with new fittings, although beside the doors to the toilets are attractive baffles with leaded glazing with coloured glass saying "cider", "beers" and the like. One particularly attractive feature is that the upper parts of the front windows all have colourful glazing in the shape of shields."
