This Pub is Permanently Closed
Traditional two-bar town pub with an older clientele. Public bar has a pool table, darts and large TV, jukebox and gaming machines. Lounge bar also has a large TV, plus a large 'Barrel' on display which used to hang up outside the pub, no doubt before the days of pedantic Health & Safety. The name comes from the former owners Banks & Taylors (BAT) and the Barrel.
Pub closed Oct 2018
