Owners have carried out a thorough refurbishment and extended the pub, transforming it into a popular venue for drinkers and diners alike. Decor is unusual, with several rooms having a mixture of furniture interacting with a range of wall decorations, mirrors, ornaments and pictures that invite exploration of the extended interior. The original two front bars have been retained, and in the right-hand one four handpumps dispense mainly local beers including usually one from Langham and one from Goldmark. Biannual beer festivals are held.
