It has 4 darts boards and a pool table for competition nights and league games.

Trading style
The pub at present trades to the local community with day drinkers watching the horse racing, alongside early evening sports lovers and destination team players as this hub of the community pub is ideally located to meet friends and join in with the pub teams. The draught drinks offer is varied and targeted at its current customers. Sports teams for darts and pool are popular and a weekly karaoke of held on a Friday night alongside the early doors trade which is often bolstered by local trade people calling on the way home from work.
The new licensee should look to expand its function trade, whilst retaining the existing, loyal customers. There is an opportunity to add additional teams and a rhythm of the week to include a quiz at the weekends and monthly larger events in the function room. The ideal licensee will also immerse them-self within the community, encouraging local businesses and charities to hold weekly meetings on-site, whilst cementing the pub to become the focal point of the town to hold functions and private events.
