Built 1934 for Steward & Patteson in brewer's Tudor style, the Mariners Compass is worth a visit to see the two rooms, but the off sales was absorbed with the public bar in the 1980s. It still retains the original fittings in the form of a bar back with a carved top of grapes and acanthus leaves in the public bar, a large brick fireplace, parquet floor and dado panelling in the lounge. Throughout the pub is a good cornice also of grapes and acanthus leaves. Also the pubs sells a range of real ales at good prices.
