About us

A traditional end of terrace Victorian pub which opened on the 13 April 1848. It has changed very little over the years, and is at the heart of the community. Plans in 1998 to convert the pub into one large bar were thankfully abandoned. The pub can be busy when televised sport is shown. There is a small snug to the right, the bar to the left, and a further room which hosts a darts board. The beer garden is a sun trap in summer. Bar snacks are available. There are photos of steam railway locos on the walls for enthusiasts.

Great traditional, back street local with a solid fuel fire. 3 cask ales available but all were bitters of similar style (Timothy Taylor Boltmaker, Landlord, and Wye Valley Butty Bach.

Firstly a big tip! It's CASH only! Then consider it's only just over a five minute walk from the railway station. We had a delayed train brilliant find! Cask ale was Bass ( very drinkable) & if we had more time would have tried the other casks including Bolt maker! Friendly landlord, nice warm cosy pub Highly recommended!
