A fully equipped catering kitchen is behind the bar. Externally at the front of the pub is a small picket fenced patio for alfresco drinking or dining, to the side and rear is a large car park. Beyond the car park to the rear of the property is a fenced off lawned rear garden with childrens play area.

* Based on the April 2023 provisional rating list, the Zero Rates Payable is based on the licensee only occupying one property for commercial purposes.
Ideally the licensee should have experience in a community focused environment with some experience of producing and delivering a reasonable hot and cold food menu. They should be familiar and skilful with modern marketing techniques as this is a small town but is surrounded by several villages. Engaging marketing is key to attracting from these communities to increase wet footfall and drive the food offer.
