Upon entering the pub, it resembles someone's front room with a cosy and friendly atmosphere. Listed as an asset of community value on Friday 24th April 2015 it closed the following Thursday, 30th. Saved by the community after much campaigning, fund-raising and a share offer it re-opened on 1st December 2016.
