Reopened in 2011 as a genuine free house, the 'GB' is ideally situated between the town centre and university. The traditional bar has a dartboard and features old local photographs; the lounge has a pool table and jukebox. Satellite sport is shown throughout. Customers are welcome to bring their own food. Enclosed beer garden to the rear and families are welcome until 7.45pm. Local CAMRA Town Pub 2011, 2013 and Pub of the Year 2012.
The pub was rebuilt in 1937 of brick. The Regent Street entrance has a lobby with colourful 1937 wall tiles to two-thirds height. It retains a virtually intact Public Bar on the right with a quarry tiled floor, original bar counter, unusual arch shaped stone fireplace with a narrow stone carving along the top and log fire, original bench seating and although the bar back surround is original there is some modern panelling and new windows were fitted in 1990s.
The Lounge is a combination of two original small rooms with a good amount of original fielded panelling to picture frame height, another unusual arch shaped stone fireplace at the front with a narrow stone carving along the top and log fire, the lower bar back shelving is original but part lost due to fridges and the top section is modern, a new bar counter, fixed seating and dado panelling is modern as is the toilets.
The pub recently escaped an uncertain future having been sold by a pub company to a property company who have created a number of flats on the first floor for students. Fortunately, they found a small local pub company to take a lease on the pub part after the ceilings were lowered and soundproofing added! The range of real ales on sale make this pub well worth a visit.
