90 High Street, Marlborough, SN8 1HF (View on Google Map)

This is one of several historic pubs in the High Street. The two bars have been knocked into one. There are still the beamed ceilings; some other wooden features have gone. Eclectic mix of tables and seating. It is now a very foody place with emphasis on wine. There are two real ales available, usual from Ramsbury Brewery.

Historic Interest

Changed hands c2013 and renamed Marlborough -' champagne and cocktails, restaurant and bar food' but Ramsbury beers available. Basically wrecked interior though some features remain - interwar woodwook in parts, some older woodwork and ceiling. Local Interest only. CW - 11/2016.

Obsolete description

18th century pub that probably took its present form in the interwar years. A corridor seems to have run back from the entrance hence the thin/half doors no longer in use at the front and the red and black quarry tiled floor at the rear. The corridor has been absorbed into the public bar on the right and a counter created along its left-hand side. The public bar has a wood block floor and some extremely old i.e. original 18th century panelling on the right hand wall with basic bench seating along its length. The bar back shelves on a mirrored back date from inter-war period with the odd modern shelf and insertion of fridges. Genuine old beamed ceiling, old brick fireplace and old wall cupboard. The bar counter may be inter war (or post-war / 1950s?).

The left hand room (originally two small rooms) is used for dining but retains its inter-war counter, modern bar back shelves, some very old dado panelling on the front wall and in the rear area there is a hatch to the back of the servery. The fireplace here looks to be of reclaimed bricks i.e. not old. At the rear right is a two-part dining room i.e. two rooms at some time, both with wood block floors and an old brick fireplace in the front area. The original layout would have consisted of a corridor from the front door hence the thin/half doors no longer in use and the red and black quarry tiled floor at the rear.
