Although this pub is not a listed building, it is a Two Star pub on the Campaign for Real Ale’s (CAMRA) National Inventory with an interior of very special national historic interest, and the description is as follows: “Small pub re-built in the inter-war years, originally with a two-roomed interior as indicated by the two front doors. It has a very good curved bar counter from the inter-war years with horizontal wooden strips. The bar back fitting is not old and lower shelving has been lost to fridges. The walls have inter-war panelling to picture frame height.” The pub was the subject of a community buyout of the 20-year lease by shareholders comprising a collection of local residents and people with a strong connection with the pub.
