In the heart of the county town, the pub is a traditional alehouse popular with visitors and locals alike. Fullers beers are served plus Harvey's Best and sometimes a guest. It is home to the world pea-throwing championship, dwyle flunking, spaniel racing and other unusual events. A three-day music festival is hosted in August. Home-made food is available every day; times vary. The 7 handpumps are all located in the atmospheric front bar which has its own door off the corridor.
