It is well-supported by locals and visitors alike and is a licensed wedding venue (so is occasionally closed Saturday lunchtimes and afternoons).

The menu is short and reviewed daily; the emphasis being on fresh produce, flavour and where possible local or homegrown produce. There is a separate dining room and seven Bed and Breakfast rooms. Skittles are played frequently, in the alley-cum-cinema-cum-conference venue. There are open mic music and comedy evenings. Children and dogs are welcome in this superb community pub.
