History;
My girlfriend and her family used to frequent this place regularly, apparently. A lovely little pub in its day, and very sad circumstances surrounding its demise.
The pub closed in January 2015 and whilst laying empty and derelict, it suffered a devastating fire in April 2017. At the start of 2017 travellers pitched up on the abandoned site and began burning wood in the car park. I wouldn't like to speculate that they were the cause of the fire inside the building too, but... y'know...
A report online states;
'This very popular pub rambles up and down steps through a series of small rooms, alcoves and window seats. The decor and furnishings are simple and mainly modern, with rugs on the polished brick and tile floor. Bar food includes ploughman's (£1.25), beefburger (£1.25), home-made chicken and mushroom or steak and kidney pie (£1.85) and ham salad (£2); well-kep ABC, Bass and Everards Tiger on handpump; darts and dominoes'

Pictures;
Downstairs is in 'relatively' good condition;
But upstairs is a whole other story;
All the best folks...
