The pub reopened in March'23, after a protracted closure period where it was thought to be unlikely to return. Note the open times are accurate but the pub only stays open according to trade, and is open Mondays only on darts nights at present.

A large 1889 build pub that has served this idyllic rural community for many years, the public areas have now been substantially reduced. The upstairs function room is not available at present and a large open plan bar area has been sectioned off and closed to the right. On the left upon entrance there is a smaller much more intimate bar area, fully refurbished and modernised, retaining darts but not pool. The smaller area is both homely and conducive to good conversation with the locals. There is a focus very much on local produce, the nearby Odin brewer supplying the real ales. The pub, or rather bar now also serves produce from the Fynoderee distillery, based a few miles north in Ramsey, and the bar itself has been named 'The Apothecary'. There is no food offering in the traditional sense, but snacks are available, as the operators adjust to market requirements and test the market, so there may well be changes to come. The pub is dog friendly, both with resident dogs in attendance, and many locals calling in whilst walking their dogs in this lovely Manx rural setting. All in all a thoroughly modern refurbishment and a modern bar, much more suited to todays needs.The reopening of the pub has been much welcomed by the local area. Do check opening times, especially if on public transport by way of nearby electric tram or buses, as the service is sometimes only hourly, or less, and the area is several miles from the next town or retail outlet.
