Opened in February 2015, this was the first micro-pub in Northamptonshire and occupies a former mobility shop. It offers an alternative to the loud music and the standard brand beers offered by most other venues in the town. Simply decorated with a bare concrete floor, furnishings are mostly created from recycled and reclaimed materials with the bar being made from a weathered former scaffolding planks. The range of beers are sourced locally, including Potbelly Early doors IPA (the house regular), Church End, Potbelly, Roman Way, Salopian, Vale, and cider from the village of Welton. Awarded CAMRA Northamptonshire Pub of the Season Winter 2023/24. Enthusiastic owner Tom Sawyer and his daughter Sam are holding up the reputation for excellent beers and ciders, having taken over the business in early 2019. Now with additional outdoor seating.
