Historic Grade I listed, 17th century, timber-framed building situated close to the river Dee and comprising three floors. Ground level features a front bar and wood fire with more table seating to the rear. Upstairs is a quieter seating while the floor above serves primarily as a function room. TV screens showing sport on two floors but this is only really obstrusive for the bigger games. Small outside area to the rear primarily for smokers. Quiz and live folk music on a Sunday evening. Up to five beers (typically northern) available plus a real cider. Well worth remembering Market Town Taverns operate a 10% discount with CAMRA membership.
