A large detached corner Marston’s pub and eatery with a couple of patio areas. The place is a 20th century mock-Tudor style, comprising mainly of undressed brick with 3 stone bay windows, window surrounds and an emphatic hipped roof with dormer windows.

The interior has a couple of rooms served by one long bar that crosses the dividing wall. The bar room is a thin, long room with two dart boards and a pool table, as well as a TV that was showing the footy. It is in coffee and white with red tile floor and has sporty pictures on the walls. It was populated by a few locals. The lounge/dining room is open-plan and somewhat larger. Supported by a few columns, there is a central wood partition to break the room up a bit and a raised area too. It is in the usual mixed wall colours; dark red, green, French mustard, with wood panel. It has a nice moulded ceiling which is in brown and white and has a red patterned carpet. There were old photos, prints and a few bits of other ephemera on the walls. I didn’t eat so I can’t comment on that, but it served-up the general Marston’s menu. There was soft background music. It seemed to be locals here too. The service was a little functional.

Beer; usual tap stuff with Banks’s MILD, Bitter and Jennings Lakeland Stunner on handpull, the Stunner was fine.

A decent place that makes good use of the two rooms - no token bar area in barn eatery here. I would happily go back here and eat too.
