We moved from Nottingham to become owners here in January 2006. This is our first venture into the licensing trade and the pub was in need of some care and attention when we arrived. Over the past six months we have a put all our efforts into re-furbishing the accomodation and re-decorating the pub to give both locals and visitors a clean, comfortable friendly place to visit. Work will continue on the outside of the pub over the coming months and we will update the site with plans and progress.
The pub will be immediately familiar to many visitors as it was used as the pub in the popular BBC series Last of the Summer Wine. The lounge area has a display of rare behind the scenes autographed and personalised photographs of characters and the crew filming the series throughout its many episodes from the last 30 years.
As you will see from our accommodation page we have put a great deal of time and effort into bringing the 5 en-suite guest bedrooms up to a high standard to ensure guest’s comfort, drawing on the original room features to bring a sense of character and warmth to each room. We believe they have been decorated with taste and style. Children are welcome, as are well behaved dogs (please advise when booking if you are bringing either!).The pub can provide an excellent base for those wanting to tour the many attractions in the area either on foot, by bike or in the car.
The bar area itself has been re-decorated without losing any of its traditional look and character. Real Ale enthusiasts are catered for in the 2 handpulls on the bar. The large open fire is very popular on cold days and nights.
Janice is offering a variety of homemade soups, hot and cold sandwiches and bar snacks all made from local produce and evening meals are available for guests by arrangement. We are currently developing our large garden area to the rear of the pub into a beer garden with a children’s play area.
