A private social club, ostensibly conservative, welcomes new members and visitors alike. The bar serves a large open plan room for friendly company in which families play a big part. The snooker table at one end can be screened off-for important games. Upstairs the function room is where the local brass band practise on Thursdays - once the childrens' karate class has finished! It has a handpump available for parties, weddings, funerals and so on. Back downstairs, real ale currently limited to one handpump (with two others on standby) are from local and distant breweries.
