The pub was built in 1964 and the name refers to a ship from the Napoleonic Wars. This one “L shaped” bar hostelry holds a quiz night every Tuesday. Comfortable feeling and atmosphere. Real fire. Various food and drink deals are offered during the week, as detailed on the pub's website. There is a decked rear garden and an inviting front garden with grass and benches. Formerly a Big Smoke pub but now run as a free house by the Morgan Pub Collective.

Following a recent change in manager, they are now offering two regular draught beers (Timothy Taylor's Boltmaker and Young's Ordinary) plus three changing beers, often from smaller brewers, plus one draught cider.

A "Happy Days" promotion was announced in November offering Harvey's at £3.99 per pint and Bass at £2.99 per pint. Other beers, wines and spirits are also included and the Promotion runs Monday to Saturday 11am to 6pm.
