The pub was originally built in the 1840s and rebuilt in 1887, maintaining its traditional Victorian public house feel. It also houses a Tolkien Lounge as a nod to the author who frequented the establishment.

Recently, the pub has undergone a refurbishment funded by new owners to restore it to its former glory. The addition of a modern summer beer garden with fire pits and a cocktail bar has enhanced the overall experience.

The pub offers a wide range of real cask ales, spirits, bottled drinks, draught larger, cider, and craft beer, ensuring there is something for everyone. The 5* cask marque accreditation guarantees that all drinks are served correctly. The indoor and outdoor screens showing live sports, along with the log burning open fires, add to the ambiance.

The large beer garden at the rear of the pub is the heart of Moseley's nightlife, featuring real wood burning fire pits, a large screen TV, and a surround sound system. The garden bar offers a range of draught and bottled drinks, while the cocktail bar serves a variety of cocktails to suit different tastes.
