This long established excellent traditional bar, with upstairs cocktail lounge (which can be privately booked), re-opened after a ten year absence in 2022. It welcomes both locals and visitors alike and hosts frequent open mic music evenings. Many of the old features such as the spectacular bar gantry, cornices and panelling have been retained and refurbished. The real ales are generally from local small breweries. Children are not admitted. NOTE: May close earlier if quiet during the week.
One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest
Listed status: Delisted
Further update 2023 Reopened in 2022 after a long period of closure. The gantry is especially fine and has been in position for at least 50 years - it has been re-evaluated as meeting the criteria for One Star.Update 2015: The pub has reopened but, sadly, the partition that created the separate snug at the front of the pub has been ripped out by the new owners and therefore this pub is downgraded to being of local interest only. Former description: Built in 1895 as a hotel, this is now a basic town centre drinkers' pub with a rare partitioned sitting room. The bar retains both its original counter with water taps and lower part of the back gantry; the highly decorative upper part was imported c.1970 but is undoubtedly older. This high ceilinged dado-panelled room has decorative cornice work and a number of ceiling roses. Good set of window screens including McEwan's. Â
