A modern pub with a beer garden partly-heated and covered at the front on Sussex Gardens, it was built in 1969 on the ground floor of a residential high-rise development. In spite of its relative modernity it has a fairly traditional feel inside with some attractive coloured glasswork separating various seating and dining areas around an L-shaped bar. Trade is mainly local plus some tourists from the numerous local hotels. The food menu includes pizzas and burgers and pub favourites.

As may be seen from our photos, there is indeed a monkey puzzle tree in the garden!
