At lunchtime the business mainly revolves around bar meals with
delicious home cooked meals available six days a week (there is no
food on Sundays). Food is not offered in the evenings and this may
be an opportunity for further business development as may offering
meals on Sunday.
The public bar is a popular meeting place for locals and a pool team,
darts team and a local football team also meet at the pub. It is
