This Pub is Closed Long Term
CLOSED in September 2013 and tragically BURNED DOWN on 19 April 2024.
A landmark pub on a prominent corner site, reopened in autumn 2010 under new ownership and more recently offering Caribbean cuisine. A listed former coaching inn from around the 1760s, a part at the back dates from the 16th century and two windows on the top floor are filled in as a result of the old window tax. Formerly the Kings Head, it was run by cricketer Burn Bullock and his wife until he died in 1954 and was renamed in his honour on her retirement in 1975.
