Reopened in July 2019, with competitively-priced real ales, after more than a month of closure for refurbishment. The pub's owners (Ei Group) had taken the pub back from its long-standing licensees (who leased the pub and wanted to buy it) in order to transfer it to 'Craft Union' (Ei's managed house co.). Locals had started a petition against this change, attracting more than 1,000 signatures in the first day, then passing 2,000 soon afterwards. Formerly part of the Fielder & Co brewery buildings, this small, traditional local has a few historic framed photos of the local area in the bar and a well in the courtyard at the rear. There are hanging baskets of flowers outside the pub.
