Refurbished and reopened around September 2019, The Rover is now a bright and pleasant pub. The pub dates from the Victorian era and has its main bar to the front. The door in the corner leads to a back bar. A street-side patio with raised flowerbeds at the front provides outdoor drinking. Bar snacks and hot pies & pasties are available, Sunday Lunches are served and the pub opens for breakfast every day.
