This small Victorian pub is a long-established Everard's house, and has traditional character. The front room has floorboards and large windows which can open to the street in warm weather; through an arched partition to a central small bar which has the main counter and a tiled floor, but the bar fittings here are modern. To the rear past a lobby with staircase to the toilets on the first floor, is a separate room which was previously used for darts. At the side of the pub is an attractive narrow courtyard garden.

Historic Interest

Named after the last Plantagenet King who spent his last night abed just up the road in the long gone Blue Boar Inn before heading for the Bosworth Battlefield where he became the last King of England to be killed in battle. Up the stairs on the first-floor landing is a genuine Victorian counter-less bar back; the two handpumps are still connected to the cellar though not in use. This rare delight, which looks more like a domestic sideboard than a pub fitting, used to serve the first-floor function room which has now been converted to a kitchen.
