This popular former Courage Brewery house was a coaching inn back in the day. Entry from the main road takes you into a pleasant bar which extends to the left and down the side of the pub. After a period of closure, it re-opened as a gastropub in late November 2017 with an obvious emphasis on quality food with local provenance. The ales change regularly and feature familiar and popular brands.

New management and a good face-lift summer 2024. Booking is advised for the weekends.

Historic Interest

Around 300 years old, this was once run by Welsh international footballer, Kenny Morgans, who survived the Munich air crash of 1958 when so many of his Manchester United colleagues perished. Kenny recovered to play for Swansea Town (as they were then).
