Improve This Listing

Opened in 1996 as a re-creation of an 18th-century tavern. After over 20 years as the Jerusalem Tavern it was reopened in March 2022 in its current guise. The pub is now run by the building's owners but the tie up with St Peter's brewery remains for the time being. The decor is bare wooden floors and bare walls, with a mixture of wooden chairs and tables.

Historic Interest

Grade II listing:- Terraced house with shop. c.1825. Multicoloured brick set in Flemish bond with rebuilding in yellow brick to second floor, roof of Welsh slate. Four storeys, two-window range. Ground floor has round-arched entrance to St John's Path to left, and the rest of the front is taken up by a well-preserved early C19 wooden shop front with engaged Roman Doric columns carrying entablature with fascia, end scrolls and cornice; central entrance with decoratively glazed overlight, and small-paned shop windows with curved corners. First-floor windows flat-arched with gauged brick heads, recessed in round-arched panels with gauged brick heads linked by stone springing bands; upper windows flat-arched with 6/6 sashes of original design; parapet; two dormers in mansard roof; stack to party wall.
