This large Old Town pub has wooden casks in the front bar, but these do not store beer. This is pumped up by air pressure from steel casks in the cellar. The front bar is cosy while the back bar opens up into a larger area and can get busy on the weekend. After a gap of many years food is now available everyday with breakfast available on Friday morning. The guest beer comes from the Wadworth guest list. Quiz night on Tuesdays.

Historic Interest

Opened in the 1820s the original pub had only half the present frontage. The eastern part was added in 1873. Bought by Belmont Brewery in 1887 and by Wadworth in 1938. New rear extension in 1991.
