This two-bar estate-style community pub with smart interior, within walking distance of town and close to the zoo and leisure park, is surprisingly warm and welcoming for such a large and modern establishment. The entirely separated public bar is favoured by local drinkers, and supports darts and pool teams, a chess club and euchre players. It sports the usual accoutrements such as jukebox, pool table, sky sports and small area for the occasional live performers. The comfortable lounge is for more contemplative drinking, and there is a separate restaurant on the opposite side of the building. Meals are served throughout the pub, and there is a carvery every Sunday.
