This is a plain, detached, slightly Georgian looking irregular shaped corner building. It is in white, with red around the windows, which are large multi-paned sash windows. There is a modestly decorated doorway. The interior had three rooms, but now all are technically open plan and served by a central serving bar. To the left on entry is a small pool area, in green, white and fake beam walls. The area to the left is the bar, being in the same decor, with a patterned carpet and a small grate fire. There was a TV here with sport on. The back area is more of a lounge. This room is in white and red, with patterned carpet and has a small fireplace, a bottle collection, beer mat collection, toby jugs and a few brasses for interest. There are a few prints on the walls and some weird dried flower arrangement hanging from the ceiling. The music was general and at a decent level. The service was great and a few locals were in. Beer; usual tap stuff with Castle Rock HPA, Enville White and Ale, Holden's Golden Glow and another pull that was in the process of being changed. A great pub, and one that advertises it was voted 'the most improved pub by CAMRA in their area last year. Definitely worth a visit, especially with good neighbouring pubs.

Pub was formerly called the Dudley Arms - as can be seen in the first picture of the double-sided sign. It tells the story of a beggar who froze to death after being refused board & lodging for the night. His ghost returned to haunt the pub - and enjoy a pint!
