Returning in 2022 I found it plain, clean and tidy, and worryingly quiet on a Saturday afternoon until suddenly lots of people came in, filling the place with chatter.

In 2009 I received a report that real ale was of poor quality or no longer available, but in 2010 I was told a new tenant had improved things again, and the cask has been good on recent visits.

In 2005 I found the place had been totally re-modelled into one L shaped room, very nicely decorated. Sadly the handpumps on the small bar counter were not in use.
In 2006 one hand pump provided a disgusting pint of vinegar, claiming to be Pedigree.
In 2007 the hand pumps had increased to three but we still got off beer. The interior remained pleasant and well cared for.
Closed in May 2008, but I'm told it had re-opened by December.
Returning in 2014 I found the pleasant interior has been well looked after and, at last, so are the ales. There were three handpumps in service and all three provided quality real ales. The food, basic pub meals, was good and good value. Visiting once again in 2015, I found the pub has grown into an excellent community asset: With friendly regulars and staff, quality ales and good food, what more could you ask for?
