Renamed the Roaring Meg in May 2013 after a short period of closure, this no frills Victorian street corner local is a five minute walk from the town centre. It consists of two contrasting bars, a large ‘L’ shaped basic bar at front and square bar at rear which has a pool table and a dartboard. There is a wall painting above the bar depicting a market scene. Very much a drinkers’ pub.
Victorian brick-built pub which retains its original layout and was last refurbished in c.1960 and barely altered since. Note a dado of glazed bricks on the exterior and in the lobbies. The L-shaped public bar (was this two rooms prior to 1960 separated by a partition?) has a quarry tiled floor and lino where the original Victorian bar counter was situated. Bare Victorian benches still line the exterior walls but the existing bar counter and bar back only date from the 1960s. In the large lobby on the right hand side with a dado of green glazed bricks the off sales hatch in a door with a figure '2' above it remains. Off the lobby a room with '1' on it is now used for storage and the kitchen has a '8' on the door. The rear bar with '3' on the door was refitted in c.1960 and contains a classic curved counter of a late 1950s style with Formica top. Note the frieze of Newark market above the counter in the âpot shelfâ area. Upstairs is a function room containing two early 20th century tiled and wood surround fireplaces but the bar was added in recent years.
