Improve This Listing

This large Old Town pub has cosy front bar while the back bar opens up into a larger area and can get busy on the weekend. The guest beer comes from the Wadworth guest list. The number of real ales served varies with demand with fewer available during the summer months.

After a gap of many years good food is now available everyday, with a special lunch deal on Wednesdays.

To the side of the pub is a small courtyard area.

Historic Interest

Opened in the 1820s the original pub had only half the present frontage. The eastern part was added in 1873. Bought by Belmont Brewery in 1887 and by Wadworth in 1938. New rear extension in 1991.
