Originally a mining counthouse, this is now a community-orientated free house in a quiet village. It has a single bar, but with separate games area. Refurbished several years ago following a fire, the pub offers two ever-varying guest ales in summer, at least one of them locally brewed, reducing to one in winter. There is a children's play area at the rear by the beer garden. Four or five real ciders are usually available. Quiz night every Thursday, live music Saturday nights.
