This small pub has bare-brick walls covered in old photographs and Fuller's beer adverts. Today there is one L-shaped bar, but etched glass on the unused exterior doors shows that this was not always the case. A TV is in one corner and this is used for major sporting events shown on terrestrial TV, especially rugby when a couple of extra TVs will be on if England are playing when it is often standing room only. A dart board is at one end, and past this is one of the pub's best features, a walled Georgian garden. A TV is put in the garden, in the covered area, for some of the largest sporting events. Occasionally there is live music. Children are welcome until early evening. As well as darts there is a selection of modern and traditional board games by the television and WiFi is available. The guest beer pump often has a Dark Star beer on but may have a Fuller's seasonal beer or something from the Fuller's list such as Thornbridge. Lunch, served 12-2:30, is sandwiches, a salad plus some things, like ham and eggs, with chips. Beer festivals are usually held over the first May Bank Holiday and in the autumn (usually September), when there will be about an extra ten beers on in the garden, with some local beers featured, and some real cider. A third festival may occasionally be held if there is a major national event. The pub also holds other events throughout the year such as an onion competition.
