Website

This listed pub has an attractive frontage just off the Market Place. ideally placed for relaxing after shopping, while admiring the variety of ancient architecture which makes up Wantage town centre. Inside is spacious; unusually, the open-plan design has been reversed by adding some internal divisions; the rear, once a car park, is now a large courtyard garden. The pub serves excellent, freshly made food using local produce where possible and holds barbecues at weekends throughout the summer.

Historic Interest

Former coaching inn and now a Grade II listed building
