Situated in the conservation area of Barnston on the Wirral Peninsula, the present pub was built about 1911 on the site of an Ale House & Barn.
A lot of the original character was retained when the present licensee Ralph Leech converted the downstairs living accommodation into drinking space in 1984. The Lounge with its own bar is ideal for a quiet drink as there is no music, fruit machines or other distractions. This area makes an ideal dining area at luchtimes with booking advisable to save a wait at peak times. The old bar is the original bar and displays various collections of Bric a Brac and back shelves with over sixty Whiskeys. The Snug with its shiny wood block floor and original furniture and fittings give a warm feel to the room. Take a good look around when you visit, you may see something you have never seen before.The general decor of this pub is true to it's origins, featuring an assortment of memorabilia with collections
of Brass ashtrays (85), Horse brasses (155), whisky cases (155), a collection of Police helmets and other hats, Plates, Bottles (150), Guiness clocks and other clocks plus many other items of interest.
Most of the Edwardian building's character has been preserved, including pitch pine woodwork and leaded windows. A superb menu of bar snacks including Platters, Toasted Ciabatas and Baked Potatoes, open sandwiches together with the 'Daily Specials' Beef Pies, Lamb Shank, Fish of the day, Lasagna, Somerset Chicken, Vegetarian dishes and other delights depending on the season, weather and mood of the hardworking Cooks and Kitchen staff. Traditional Roasts are served on Sundays.
