Pub Layout

Entrance to the pub is through the front central doors, which leads into two sperate trade spaces. To the left is an area with circa. 26 covers, mainly used for diners. The stone walls and tiled floors could make this area feel cold and unwelcoming, but the two fireplaces, cosy décor and combination of fixed and loose seating make the space very comfortable. To the right of the entrance is the L shaped bar and seating for a further 14-16 customers. This area is often utilised by those partaking in the weekly quiz or enjoying a game of dominoes. To the rear of the pub is the good-sized, well-equipped catering kitchen and both the ladies and gent toilets. Externally there is a small drinking terrace which wraps around the front and side of the pub, this is very well used in the summer months. Although the pub doesn’t have its own car park there is a large car park directly opposite the pub which is utilised by all visiting the parish.

Trading Style

The pub currently trades on a 60/40 wet/dry split. The pub has a good reputation for the food it offers. The drinks range is a premium range which accompanies the food well and entices those who just want to enjoy a couple of drinks.
