Large roadside pub that has been modernised inside. There is one room off to the left as you enter and a larger room containing the bar to the right. A brick fireplace in this larger room helps break up the space. It also contains a large wood burner. At least one side of the fireplace had a large screen TV. I did not venture to the other side but the TV was showing some kind of F1 programme without sound. Music was playing instead. Flooring is a mixture of modern tiling and bare boards. The separate room off to the left had another TV.

The bar has 3 handpulls. Just Brewpoint Double Star was on. A second handpull had a turned Anchorman clip, with the third pull naked. Brewpoint Foghorn & Genesis were two of the keg beers. The cider was Aspall's.

Various events are promoted. Live music takes place on a Friday night, there is a quiz night on the last Wednesday of the month and an open mic night on the last Sunday of the month.

The car park to the front has 3 electric charging points. Being next to a school, there are cameras for the car park and vehicles need to be registered on a tablet in the pub. There are some nice hanging baskets to the front of the pub and there is a garden area off to the left-hand side.

On a Thursday afternoon, this place lacked atmosphere. However, it would be interesting to see what an evening visit looks like, especially when there is a music event on.

A pre war roadhouse with an unremarkable exterior but a very friendly welcome within.Through the central front entrance there is a large fish tank with a restaurant to the left,branded as Benick's,and a lounge to the right which has the bar.The lounge is carpeted throughout and is dominated by a large brick central fireplace which opens to both sides of the lounge .I am sure this fire must be a wonderful feature in cold winter weather.The furniture includes quite a few sofas with low coffee tables and some more traditional upright chairs and stools.The bar serves both sections of the lounge and in the far right hand side is a bar billards table (always good to see) and a fruit machine.The musak was played quite loud but wasnt offensive.Four handpumps,three serving on my trip Youngs Bitter ,Adnams Bitter and a guest of Thwaites Wainwright which was in good condition.The real ales were priced around £3.At lunchtime the restaurant proved more popular than the lounge,this is a respectable pub now featured in the 2011 GBG.
