This oak-beamed historic 17th C pub on the main A21 was originally built before Locksbottom existed. Attracting a mixed clientele, the main draw is the extensive timetable of live music and events as well as several TV screens showing football and other sports.

Completely refurbished inside with a contemporary white décor making it light and bright with wooden flooring throughout and plenty of assorted seating as well as a fireplace with a log fire in winter. There is a long bar facing the main entrance plus a smaller back bar serving a snug. Another room on the far side of the bar is used for darts. The dining area leads off from the main bar, complete with comfy chairs.

The large rear walled patio garden has assorted benches and seating under the trees and is popular in summer. Note the cat ornament on the roof tiles.

The pub hosts a variety of events, including a jazz night on the last Sunday of each month plus a Jam night on the last Monday. For up-to-date information about forthcoming events, please see the pub's Facebook site (linked above), or the blackboard to the right of the bar.

The pub is also convenient for the nearby Princess Royal University Hospital as well as Sainsbury's at the rear. Children under 14 are not allowed.
