Once a large private house it was converted into a pub back in the '70s. After a period of closure it was acquired by new owners and reopened after a smart facelift offering customers a public bar, restaurant and function room. The bar has a modern feel with pale green décor, sports TV, and pool table. High seating at tables is balanced by sofa seating in one corner. The food offering is attractive serving value for money traditional pub meals as well as more exotic dishes. There's a senior citizen lunchtime deal every Wednesday and Friday. Outside gives views of wooded countryside. Felinfoel Double Dragon or Sharp's Doom Bar are the most popular among the guest ales but others appear in their turn.
