Cask Ale

This bustling city centre pub is an imaginative conversion of a former bank premises opposite the well-known Wool Exchange. It advertises itself as a pub and food house which summarises what it does very neatly. Art-deco glass features and wrought ironwork are present throughout. Of particular note is the wrought-iron spiral staircase to the upper drinking area. There are numerous interesting pictures and framed newspaper clippings on the walls. An extension into the adjacent building opened at the end of 2019 and added new upper and lower drinking/eating areas with a modern style. Up to four cask ales are available on hand-pulls. Nineteen keg taps dispense mass-produced beers and ciders. Good value food served all day and includes pub classics, burgers, pizzas, paninis, sandwiches and loaded Yorkshire puddings. There are various meal deals offered. A small outdoor seating area to the side can be used by smokers. Disabled access is possible through a side door although, once inside, access within the premises can be limited by stairs.
