Formerly the Red Lion, this large pub on the busy A30 is also very near Blackwater railway station and bus-stops, and the local shops.

The main bar now houses the impressive array of up to four real ales, and other beverages, with a few steps leading up to the ‘Sports Bar’, with a range of lagers, a wide selection of gins, the dart-board and three pool tables. The L-shaped bar serves both areas, serving London Pride as the regular beer, and guest beers, generally including at least one LocAle, and often a dark beer. There is an interesting "What's Next" pole to show drinkers what follows soon. No food is served here, but customers are allowed to bring their own snacks.

There is a live ‘jam session’ on Thursday evenings, Rock bands on Saturdays, and sometimes live music on Fridays also. Several TV’s are available for sports or other events, on demand. A great community pub.
