Re-opened May after a refurbishment. A large, three-roomed pub which was once a coaching inn, taking its name from a heavy horse which was used to help drag stagecoaches up steep hills and not poultry, although the modern pub sign does indeed show poultry. The main bar serves two rooms, with one with its own entrance door into the car park - excellent if you are staying with dogs. The games room features a small opening for bar service. There is a back patio with plenty of seating. Disabled access via the rear door though no accessible toilet.
