Chnage of tenant expected 22/5/2025, when the successful team at the Petersgate Tap take the reins...

A former multi-award winning free house. A fair choice of mostly national brand beers are usually to be had. Four neatly decorated rooms radiate from the congested bar, two compact snugs, a large lounge with feature overmantle mirror which most regulars regard as the best room in the pub. From 2023, this room houses a pool table, which seems somewhat incongruous., Meanwhile to the right is an overspill room with plenty of standing space. Live music is a feature of weekends, with the large yard and attractive outdoor seating area to the rear often show-casing larger acts such as local rock bands, folk, acoustic and more. This tends to operate from March till November. It serves too as a beer garden and barbecue area. This space has an outdoor bar that operates during the music events (no cask ale served from here though).

NB. Strictly over-18s only,

General information about historic pub interiors

Although slightly opened-up, the pub still retains five distinctive rooms. The vault in the centre has an old bar counter (painted blue and cream) but the bar back is modern as is the pot shelf. It is opened-up off a passage on the left with a brown and white tiled floor and retains one original etched window. Original central door no longer in use.

Front left room has a narrow opening from the passageway, bare wooden floor, old fixed bench seating all around the room, an early 20th century tiled, cast iron and wood surround fireplace and bell-pushes. Further along the passage is a narrow opening to the rear left room with more original fixed bench seating, an early 20th century tiled, cast iron and wood surround fireplace and bell-pushes in the wood panel above.

Behind the servery a narrowish gap leads to a slightly larger rear room with a bare wood floor, more old fixed bench seating, two plain baffles by the doorway, a wood surround with cast iron interior that looks modern but a large plain mirror above which is old. More bell-pushes in the wood panel above the seating. Through a gap from the vault is another bar on the right with modern fittings.
