    Built in 1910 to replace a former alehouse and barn, it had a major refurbishment in 2018 which included the addition of a large conservatory extension to the lounge for dining and a larger outside seating area to the rear of the pub. Now with an emphasis on food although the small traditional bar and snug of the old pub have been retained but with a hole in the wall between the two rooms - meaning the snug is not as 'snug' as it once was.
