Originally a 1926 movie theatre The Van Dyck Picture House, which became a bingo hall in 1973 before being converted by J D Wetherspoon. A large, high-ceilinged single bar pub with a mixture of wooden seating, carpeting and a slightly more formal dining area to the rear. Popular with local residents and shoppers. There is a large screen at the back of the pub for showing sport. Always a good selection of guest beers. Breakfast is served from 8am to 11:30am.
