Directions

You want to visit - You have this in

Only five minutes' walk from the railway station and tucked away in the backstreets of the old village, this small pub, probably the oldest in town, is popular with locals and beyond. It does not serve food but your hungry dog will be happy as special dog biscuits and a water bowl are provided. You may also see regulars bringing their own snacks in to share. A pub where customers' conversation happily coexists alongside darts and pool players and those enjoying their beer while watching sport shown on terrestrial TV.
