Opposite the Royal Courts of Justice, a tavern was said to have been built on the site in 1723 but the Tudor style frontage dates only from an 1898 rebuild. The old pub sign (seen in our 2013 side alley picture) showed George III: however the pub is believed to be named after a former landlord and reference to royalty has been removed from the current signage. The splendid façade leads to a redecorated dark wooden floored and panelled bar interior, with some partitioned seating areas opposite the bar and a further area of tables and chairs at the back. The Dining Room upstairs is generally used for functions or private dining.

The food menu includes pub classics "with a modern twist", and has a moderately upmarket feel; on Sundays roasts are added to the menu. The number of real ales is increasing post-pandemic, and the landlord hopes to have a range of 7 cask ales and 2 cask ciders barring time between changes, from September/October 2023 onwards.
