A small corner local, built in 1854. It came into the ownership of the City Brewery (Lichfield) in the 20c; and later to Banks's Brewery of Wolverhampton. It formerly had a tiny lounge on the left and a very basic bar on the right, but was refurbished by Banks's in 1992 as a single U-shaped room in bright traditional style. Reopened as a free house in 2004; then as a Black Country Ales leased pub in February 2016. It has a friendly, welcoming atmosphere, and a strong sports following. The pub offers a selection of beers and ciders from twelve handpumps, from Black Country Ales, guest breweries, and two real ciders. Cobs and pork pies are available most times.
