Just round the corner from the Three Horseshoes and with a seating area out the front part paving part astroturf, with traditional picnic style benches. Inside the bar counter faces the entrance in the front bar area and winds round to serve the lounge area behind it. The front bar is carpeted with regular tables and chairs, some tall tables and a corned fitted banquette to the right of the entrance. There is an area off to the right of the bar area listed as the Snug with some bench seating against the wall, with regular tables and regular chairs the other side thereof. To the left of the front bar down a flight of steps and beyond an attractive door with patterned leaded glass is another carpeted room with regular tables and chairs that looks like would be popular with diners when it is busy with diners. The rear bar is also carpeted as has some benches along the rear wall with otherwise a mixture of regular tables and tall tables down the right-hand side. There are a couple of dart boards in the rear right-hand corner and a large TV on the wall showing Sky Sports News with no sound, the sound being a very low-key psychedelic soundtrack.
