Originally an old coaching house built in 1865, it has been extended and refurbished. A friendly, hostelry which maintains two of the original rooms creating a cosy atmosphere, one having a coal or log fire. The Arms is very much into rugby and football showing regular main events and is one of only four free houses in the town. The side room is partly seperated from the rear area, with exposed original beams for the cruck frame. TV screens are present in both bars. To the rear is a large marquee which has some comfortable setees. The walls of the main part of the pub have interesting phots of old Market Drayton.
