Reopened in December 2018 following extensive refurbishment by new owners, True North Brew Co. Downstairs the left hand snug was thankfully not changed while the main bar is cleverly divided by a low screen. Three new rooms were created upstairs. The purpley-brown and cream colour scheme is very tasteful. As well as the changing real ale (usually one, occasionally two), several quality keg beers are offered plus some interesting stuff in can and bottle. The pub now is dog friendly.
