Popular traditional pub near the old town quay and medieval river bridge and chapel. Named after the former local resident whose troops blew up the bridge during the civil war. The building was originally a cottage but became a pub in the 1840s. A well that once supplied water to a long closed pub brewery can be seen in the side bar. Now owned by Wells & Co and featuring cask ales and craft beers from their Brewpoint Brewery. The rear patio is a suntrap in the summer.

Reopened 18th April 2025 under new management.
