Traditional town pub with two rooms - a fairly basic front bar accessed off the Market Place, and a superb panelled snug possibly C18, with wood panelling, low beams and fixed bench seating, accessed down a passageway off East St Helen Street and linked to the bar through a serving hatch. First recorded as an inn in 1775 and has had various names. On CAMRA's Regional Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors. Has increasingly rare etched glass windows with the insignia of Morlands 'United Breweries'.

One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: II

A partly early seventeenth-century timber-framed building. It’s included here for the Oak Room, a delightful low-ceilinged lounge accessed on the side via a brick-floored passageway. The walls of this carpeted room have eighteenth-century (or earlier) dark wood panelling and some fixed bench seating along the outside wall. The fielded-panelled counter appears to be interwar, as does the fire-surround and three movable benches which carry a band of pretty decoration. The little alcove is in fact a fairly modern creation. A plan in the modernised public bar at the front, and dating perhaps from the interwar period, shows there was a staircase in this area. The plan also shows that the front bar formerly had three small rooms.
