One of the last small, informal alehouses in Britain, it does have the licence to sell alcohol. However, it sells only one beer, brewed locally at Otter Brewery, drawn directly from the cask; ciders in a tin and there is a small selection of spirits and the only food on offer is peanut snacks. The room has no till, music or electrical distractions, and the only staff member for many years was the landlady, Vera Mary Wright (commonly known as Mary), latterly more often than not supplemented by members of her family who nevertheless rarely serve anyone but the local regulars. Mary had a reputation for testing new customers by handing them three dimensional metal puzzles to solve. The pub has been run by Wright's family for more than 100 years; Mary inherited it from her husband, William Wright, who in turn inherited it from his father, Charles Wright. Alas Mary Wright died on 23 December 2020 and the running of the pub is now solely in the hands of her relatives.
