Large pub which has been through some changes recently - extensively refurbished (and for a while renamed) a few years ago and very definitely now food-oriented. Several distinct areas - the front section remains pubby, while the area leading to the garden has more of a restaurant feel. The cuisine is Thai, from a team with many years experience in the area.

There was a change of licensee in spring 2026. Cask ale returned but otherwise few changes.
