Recently re-opened.

A small cosy bar in the centre of town offering three hand pulls. They regularly serve locally brewed real ales from Breweries such as Revolution,Three Tuns and Wye Valley.

Thoughtfully furnished interior this pub offers a small cosy atmosphere that is full of character. Outside there is a bright terraced courtyard at the rear that has an anomaly by having to close at 10 pm, one of the licensing conditions but is a sun trap in the summer months.

Historic Interest

Unique old pub in the centre of town that was previously a photography shop
