Pub located at the staggered crossroads of Vattingstone Lane, The Down, Down Road and Strode Common. A representation of a real ale barrel is fixed to a corner of the pub at upstairs level. The pub has a purpose-built floodlit petanque area, used by the South Gloucestershire Petanque League which run matches from April-September. Petanque is played with metal boules. Each player has two boules, which are thrown with the aim of landing as near to the jack as possible. The pub is also the home venue of the Severn Vale Crib Team. Crib(bage) is a card game.
