Real ale discount scheme

Est 1546 over the street, this building dates from 1887 when it was moved to make way for a bank. Ex-Truman, Grand Met, from 1993 S&N Retail, it's was a Spirit pub since 2003 with Taylor Walker brand, now generic Greene King. Exceptionally narrow five-storey building, timber-framed, with a carved wood cock and ground floor frontage that some have attributed to Grinling Gibbons (in which case it must have been moved from the previous building). The interior is long and narrow to rear in a succession of small areas, sympathetically restored in 1990 after a fire. Ceilings of various heights, dark wood panelling, some bare brick, old local photos throughout, side bar with fancy hundi lights above and fancy dark carved wood under the counter, a small mezzanine at the back supported by thick aged wood beams, with a snug underneath. It's claimed that a James I fireplace and Grinling Gibbons mantlepiece also survive from the earlier building. Improved beer range, Four changing guests from the likes of Cottage, Hackney, Nelson, Red Squirrel and Truman. 10 hand pumps with at least 2 Greene King beers and 2 ciders.. Sports and News on the TV (always on). Function rooms upstairs, plus mezzanine and snug. There are 2 shuffle boards on the first floor
