The Roebuck dates back to at least 1788 when it was a brewhouse known simply as the Buck. It was rebuilt around the turn of the 19th/20th centuries, giving us a substantial building with considerable external character, and reamed as the Roebuck.
Years of internal rebuilding and refurbishment have left it with a rather bland interior, much like any other "café-bar" on any High Street. It remains popular for both drink and food. The last refurbishment took it somewhat upmarket with food much improved in both range and quality. Drinkers may prefer the Vault to the right hand side of the main bar. Meals may be had in a dining room to the rear or in the main saloon; both are very much "family-friendly" areas. Sundays are particularly busy days for meals.
There is still a bowling green behind the pub (there used to be two), and the upstairs function room, complete with hammer beam roof, still gives some idea of how the ground floor rooms used to look.
This Pub serves 1 changing beer (Typically one guest ale, sometimes from the Bootleg range (now owned by Holt’s)) and 2 regular beers.
