Real ale discount scheme

Large, imposing pub raised prominently on Porchester Road. Excellent views of the city centre are afforded from the front patio area which can get very busy in summer, and on New Year's Eve for the city firework display. A single bar sits on the upper split level opposite the main entrance. There are numerous separate areas and alcoves allowing for quiet conversation, and an open fire gives the pub warmth, in both senses of the word. Two small TVs in the bar area show occasional sports. Food is prominent all day. Children are allowed until 9pm. Quizzes are held on Wednesdays, with sticky 13's on Sunday and bingo on Thursday. Poker and salsa sessions are also held. The function room is upstairs (with no disabled access).

Historic Interest

Originally a private home belonging to the Chester family, it became the exotic sounding Deccan Club.

During World War II, the building was requisitioned first as an ARP headquarters and then as a US Army intelligence headquarters and officers mess. It was at this time that it developed a local reputation for being little more than a brothel for the benefit of the GIs. In 1977 the pub building was expanded.(Nottingham Post 26 June 2010 and 05 November 2014).

[Gedling Borough Council, Porchester Ward / Nottinghamshire County Council; Arnold South Division; Gedling Parliamentary Constituency]
