The Pub

A freehouse with a light and airy bar area serving a selection of lagers, traditional cask beers including rotating guest ales. Plus a selection of wines, spirits and soft drinks.

Comfortable sofas and high-backed chairs provide ample seating, with a pool table and wide-screen tv area. A beautifully illustrated mural depicting the story of the famous Haxey Hood adorns one wall. Prints of the mural (by the artist Pat Roberts) are available for purchase.

The loco was founded by its one-time chip shop owner, who purchased the locomotive (currently positioned in the bar area) from the local Bentley colliery, intending to use it as a garden barbeque. When he decided to convert the chip shop into a pub, he thought it would be a good idea to make a feature of the loco and theme the entire pub around it. And so it has remained for the last 20 years.
