On entering the main doors to the front of the pub customers will see the large bar servery to the left of the open plan but zoned main lounge area. There is a main big-screen viewing area for sports TV & weekly live entertainment in the middle of the room. Surrounding are 4 seating areas sectioned off subtly with balustrading and fixed soft furnished seating.

Off the main lounge through double doors is a rear room that has a pool table in the raised area and Darts run on the lower level. Loose seating for 20 customers on the lower level and windows overlooking the garden. This room is also used as a function room with the pool table being moved to one end of the raised area and used as a buffet table.

Trading style
The pub currently trades to both local and destination drinkers due to its ideal location. The customer base is wide as people visit for different reasons. Sky sports viewing and teams are popular with the pub running a football team darts and 2 pool teams playing in local leagues. The pub is probably best known for its entertainment varying from the weekly quiz, to live music, karaoke, and periodic bonkers bingo sessions. The pub has a large kitchen to the rear but currently only serves snack food. Every Friday night different traveling food vans are booked in with customers being able to enjoy Polish, Greek, and Italian to name but a few, which has proven to be very popular.
This pub needs a highly motivated and dedicated pub operator experienced in running a multi-faceted retail offer. The drive to arrange, market, and stage lots of customer entertainment, running the sports teams, weekly entertainment, and events. The food can be an expansion of the existing offer with more food vans especially in the summer making use of the garden and the outside bar with a pizza or burger offer. The pub is large enough to launch a pub food offer but this would require an experienced food operator. Functions must be encouraged and catered for.
