  • Historic Interior

This 15th century building is divided into a number of rooms and areas, one of these was the former brew-house, another has a stove set in an old large fireplace with an adjacent entrance into a priest-hole. Two beer festivals are hosted every year. Live music generally on middle two Fridays of the month, folk on Sunday afternoons and bluegrass once a month.

Pork pies are generally available and much recommended. The city centre pub was the local Pub of The Year in 2015 & 2017 & Cider Pub of the year 2019.

Two star - A pub interior of very special national historic interest

Listed status: II

A 16th-century building, entered down a long, flagged, panelled corridor. A small room on the left has inter-war panelling and fireplace plus a hatch to the bar. To the right is a delightful suite of three small rooms. First is a snug with recent panelling and a curious copper-topped counter. The gem of a second room is entered through a narrow door and has ancient panelling, old leaded windows, a splendid black-brick open fire and a patterned tiled floor. The third room has been opened out on both sides though the skeleton of one wall survives. It has a very large and fine fireplace. The area further back is a former yard now covered with a glass roof. A former outbuilding, containing the remains of an old brewery, has been incorporated into the pub.
