The frontage is prominent in the village green setting and includes a patio area with two benches. The entrance porch leads to the main bar area which links to the games room, dining area, conservatory, lounge bar (with log burner) and toilets. The public rooms mainly have large slate flag stone flooring. The commercial kitchen is accessed from a corridor behind the bar area or from a separate rear access from the car park.
