A small pub with only one bar, which faces you through the front door and is now under new management. With its entrance arch to the side, it was a coaching inn on Watling Street and dates back to 1540. There are three hand-pumps with two regular beers and one regularly changing - often featuring an ale from a local brewery. It has six large-screen TVs for sports coverage and now promotes itself as a sports bar. Public car park to rear, free for a period midweek, after 18.00 and at weekends.
