Dating back to 1735 and a Young’s house since 1869, this town centre pub by the House of Fraser store can be seen at the end of the main street. Two ground-floor bars, an upstairs drinking area and a heated, covered courtyard garden, it contains ships’ equipment and memorabilia with an engine-room telegraph built into a bannister. Consistently good pub food is available all day and a Sunday night music quiz is held here. The pub has had major refurbishment and reopened 13th April 2016.
Three-storey and attic of brick. Fascia has âSaloon Barâ over the left hand door and âSaloonâ over the right hand door. Middle door was possibly an off-sales. Confusingly, the interwar leaded glazing in the doors is âLoungeâ on the left-hand one; âSaloonâ on the middle door; and a âLoungeâ and âSnack Barâ ones on the right-hand doors. The interior has a very large amount of (painted over) panelling on both floors.
Ground floor bar has a bare wood floor and a tongue and groove panelled counter front but painted a gastro-grey colour so difficult to date. The two-bay bar back might be old but is also painted a gastro-grey colour. There is some fielded panelling but most of it looks modern as is the fireplace.
Stairs to first floor have fielded panelling painted grey and on the landing is a truly wonderful, huge stained glass panel of an eighteenth-century warship (date???). There are two rooms on the first floor, the left-hand one is for diners with fielded panelling painted grey, the right-hand one has a modern bar and there is more fielded panelling painted grey.
