Did you know
CAMRA classes its interior, with pew-style seating, old pub mirrors and a solid wood bar, as a one-star pub interior of special national historic interest.
Local tip
Open daily from noon (to 11pm Monday to Thursday, midnight Friday and Saturday, 10.30pm Sunday), with about seven cask beers and six ciders. Food is limited to snacks such as pork pies and roast pork rolls, so it makes a good stop after a swim on the Heath.
