The pub takes its name from the nickname of local 18th century satirical novelist, diarist and playwright Frances Burney.

A good selection of keg and bottled beers, wines and cocktails are available.

The food is very popular, from bar snacks to a full Sunday roast.

Several TVs show sport, including SKY and TNT Sports channels.
