The pub consists of interconnected rooms adorned with original wood paneling and period art pieces—specifically of the ecclesiastical variety—that subtly nod to its namesake. Catering to a diverse crowd, this establishment ensures a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere further enlivened by an open fire in the colder months and outdoor seating ideal for summer days.

Service remains attentive and friendly, capturing the essence of community hospitality, making each visit memorable.
