Its hosts, Dave and Arlene Taylor have recently settled here from South Africa, and are focusing their business on entertainment for the locals and excellent real ales, comprising 5 real ales including 3 guest ales at any one time. This venue is a popular place for early bar and late bar drinkers alike, walkers, and families. The Lounge has a wonderful open fireplace and oak beams, and is reputed to be haunted by by a Lady Charlotte Amiss, who played the drums whilst customers sang and watched her dog dance for pennies. Offshot to the lounge is the pool room and darts board, and is one of the few venues where dominoes is a popular afternoon pastime for the locals. As well as offering live entertainment, there is a great juke box, Quiz and Fruit machines. Tuesday night kicks off the week with a music quiz from the 60s through to the 90s hosted by well known Peak FM presenter, Richard Spinks, together with a game of Bingo, Open the Box and Play Your Cards Right.
