A traditional and very popular 17th century coaching inn, a place to relax before or after a tour of local Roman attractions. The entrance gives access to a smart bar counter serving adjoining bar and lounge areas which were once separate rooms. The public bar and lounge retain most of their original features and identities. The bar interior features low beams, stonework, an old fireplace and a section of higher level seating. The lounge/diner is similarly traditional where you will probably need a reservation to enjoy the intimacy of the adjoining restaurant space.

Good quality reasonably priced food can be had selected from an extensive menu (12-2.30pm). Meal days are Monday (pizza), Tuesday (burger), Wednesday (pie), Thursday (curry). The beer range is stable but a guest ale may appear occasionally.

Boules, darts and poker are played, while there is monthly live entertainment. A Sunday night quiz starts at 6pm. The garden at the rear is spacious with room for little folk to play and caters for al fresco dining in good weather, it also features part of an original Roman wall.
